Ralph was very active in his billiard Leagues; he was a certified instructor for Valley National Eight Ball Association and Billiard Congress of America, where he played in both leagues. He also operated the Penn-Ohio BCA League. Mr. Chomor enjoyed hunting, fishing, and boating, but most of all he loved his family and friends.
IN MEMORY OF JERRY SALOIS
Cue Sports International and its referee community were extremely saddened by the recent passing of one of their most beloved officials, BCA Pool League National Head Referee Jerry Salois. On behalf of our player membership and league operators, all of us here at CSI wish to extend our thoughts and prayers to Jerry’s family at this most difficult time.
Jerry’s contributions to the growth and success of our referee program are immeasurable. His greatest gift was how he treated others and his unselfish desire to help everyone enjoy their involvement with the game as a player or an official. To honor and preserve Jerry’s memory, we will re-name our annual Referee of the Year award as “The Jerry Salois Memorial Referee of the Year Award”.
Thank you Jerry. You will be missed, but never forgotten.
