No worries....it was a sad loss for the pool world, but not widely publicized.

I would just like to say i have many different times sat in that old chair in the pic, and listend to Abe talk in S. Beach Miami.
He just loved the company, and always loved talking about pool cues. He was a true wood turner, and i believe
in my heart, there is not a cue maker alive today, that can turn wood like he did. He was a also a very nice person. RIP Abe.

How tall was he?

Although, I've never met Mr. Rich, on reputation alone he was a gentleman and a world class cuemaker.

On a side note, how tall was he? That is kicked out at quite a bit of an angle and it's as tall as he is.

What became of his shop and equipment? Did he have any finished unsold cues? I would love to get one since he made the first cue I ever bought.
