MrAce Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Some of you knew him very well, some of you didn't. He was an interesting man with a lot of kibitzers at his table. He passed away recently from a heart attack. His daughter and son logged in with his account and tried to announce to the lobby. Reast in peace Gerard.

He was a character and I suspect that he'll be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 I spent many a Saturday night in 1998 with a glass of wine on OKB kibbing Gee along with hundreds of others. The kibchat ranged from cruel to complimentary, but it was always fun (and funny). Most of it was good spirited, but there were a few that took the joke too far. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguahombre Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 "Gerard" primed the pump on OKB; and I know for a fact he enjoyed the whole thing. He was well aware that kibbing his table had become a national passtime :rolleyes: The Pic he posted there, and on BBO was really his pic, not the mad scientist from Back to the Future. Gerry was also a character IRL in Southern California dating back to the late 60's. He had not changed a bit (except for the wheelchair) when we ran into each other in Vegas, last year. I will miss him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BHNN Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 To die of a heart attack is sadly too common, but in Gerard's case he died of a broken heart as well.I hope where ever he is, he's found peace at last.Rest in peace Gerard.
