heart trouble

[blud]

I just heard from a good friend and just talked with Tim Scruggs wife, Kathern. Tim's being operated on at this moment. A quadruple-by-pass.
Please keep Timmy in your thoughts and prayers. Can't find a better person than Tim. He's the best.
god bless you Tim

Wow...my prayers are with him.

My prayers go out to the Scruggs family.

The Scruggs name enjoys a sterling reputation not only in the State of Maryland, where Tim Scruggs lives, but Scruggs cues are popular worldwide because of the fine craftsmanship and attention to detail. The Scruggs Tour was a popular regional stop for many players in days gone by, his way of giving back to the pool community.

I see him at every single major event that I attend, a gentle man always brandishing a smile. When I catch his glance sitting in the bleechers with his buddies, I say, "There's my Baltimore Contingency," and he cracks up.

Here's a picture of Tim Scruggs taken at the 2005 Super Billiards Expo in Valley Forge a few months ago.

I hope he does ok. This is major stuff to have done. One of my uncles had it done & he is doing fine & I hope Tim does too..!

Good luck to Tim, whom I respect deeply.

With apologies for going a bit off topic , I would like to suggest that the thread title was a poor choice. Some of us only check out some of the threads but read all the thread titles. Based on the thread title, one enters this thread with apprehension, expecting to read that Blud is having heart trouble. Of course, this news is just as upsetting. I'd suggest that "Scruggs Having Heart Surgery" would have been a better thread title.

Anyway, back to what really matters. Tim's a great craftsman and a quality guy. I first had the pleasure of meeting him in 1997. My best wishes to him, his family and his friends.
