the nicest man
Happy b/day gus!!barry,had the pleasure to meet your dad & mom in late 86. Drove up there to buy a cue(thinking he had one already made up) & was shocked when he said a year wait,got to bs-ing,spent 5 hours talking to him & your mom yelled down that supper was almost ready & he said to set a extra plate. After supper we went into the living room & there was the table sitting up on that platform(im sure you remember that) & gus said"play a lil with that cue there & i did,he then ask what weight i thought it was, i said about 19 1/2 at best, it was 21 1/2 & said it was his cue & in the same breath said its yours for $300.The cue still resides 3 blocks away & the guy wont budge on it,long winded post but it shows what kind of folks you were blessed with. I still remember the cue he was building as we talked,it had a skull & cross bones in the butt & gus kept shaking his head & said "who would want this in a cue", i think he hated it....ha!! . Best Reguards to ya bro
