Art Cantando
Barry, heard about the passing of Art but never seen this thread until today. my condolences to Art's family & especially to you. you lost your dearest friend, that's always tough. on your recommendation Art once sent me 5 cues on consignment, i sold 4 of them for him. thank you for your vote of confidence in me. my biggest thrill was the 1st time you allowed me over to your shop, where legends are built, then you took me over to Art's to meet this serious but funny man. I've told many about the petting zoo, where you could never be bitten. Art made sure of that, what a fine bunch of trophy heads & mounts. but he might have been a greater cue maker than hunter. i missed seeing Art & you at VF. got tears in my eyes, even though much time has already passed. did not want to call you or bother you during this tuff time. take care my friend, usually when we lose someone close, God knows our hurt & soon sends a new friend to replace the joy you once had. maybe in this case it might take 2 or 3 regards don
