It's been a few years since I've been around the pool scene. I'm just curious as to who is still out there from the old days of cue making. I know Paul Mottey retired. I heard Tad Kohara passed away, can anyone confirm that? Any others you guys can fill me in on?
Bill Stroud (Joss West)
Richard Black
Ernie Gutierrez (Gina)
Tim Scruggs
Bert Shrager
David Kersenbrock (I know he hasn't made cues for a long time but, is he still alive?)
Any others you can think of?
Oh, I know Tim Scruggs' partner, Mike Cochran, died a few years back....oh, just saw on the forum here that Tim passed away this year. So sorry to see that. I have an early 80's cue of his that I bought right here on this very forum. He was so nice to me when I sent him pics of the cue to get it dated. He said it is from 1983. That is one cue that I'll never sell.
Anyway, thanks for any info you can pass along, and condolences to Tim's family.
