A Few Thoughts About Kevin Brewer...
Time stands still for no man.
I know this; and Kevin definitely did, too...
His day came and it left a big hole here on az.
The man had a hilariously funny personality, he was a supreme marketer with a keen wit, he was always honest and fair.
He didn't suffer fools with a big smile on his face but he possessed the skill and ability to dispatch them with grace when required.
I'm glad he found his way here as a result of a *MONUMENTAL* consignment cue deal he did on ebay. The astronomical bidding war for that stick got his attention in a big way and he came on here to learn more. :smile:
By the time of his death he had accumulated a wealth of knowledge about rare and high end cues. He became good friends with Ernie at Gina Cues and, of course, quickly became an expert on them.
He also knew a lot about Tads, Bushkas, Szambotis (old & new), Costers and Paradise cues, just to name a few.
He was rather humble about it all, usually.
What he didn't know, he wanted to learn.
Exceptional fun for me (and many others, too, I'm sure) were the occasional threads on the Wanted/For Sale forum where someone would post a rare and/or unusual or historic cue and the many experts (and there really are some bonafide ones on az) would weigh in and share what they knew or thought about them.
Kevin's participation in those discussions were always fun and he loved to keep them going. :smile:
The last one I recall was to do with an old bushka with very unusual rings. It was a real stunner.
I mostly kept my mouth shut and absorbed what I could in those threads.
Well, Kev, old az pal, I hope wherever you are there is peace and fun and you've found your latest eternal player, maybe a silver Gina? :thumbup:
Remember, ladies and gentleman, always protect yourselves on your purchases by funding them on paypal using your credit card so you can enjoy recourse from both paypal *and* your card company if things should go sideways.
