Brian Trumphour passes….

 

It is with deep sorrow that we tell all of the area pool players that our fellow friend and player Brian Trumphour passed away Sunday morning from complications of Leukemia Treatment. Brian was a super guy and good pool player who had a really great laugh and a caring spirit. He will be deeply missed by many of us.

To put icing on the cake, Ben decided to try his skill in the Artistic challenge and he was able to garner a 3rd place finish.
