Unfortunately for us Barry Tanenbaum won’t be back to grace a poker table with his always cheerful demeanor and clean, whole attitude about the game of poker.  His last post on his website was in July 2009. Linda Johnson’s tribute to Barry is only a small picture of how much he meant to the poker world. The statement ‘the poker world’ may seem trivial to some but that is how we experience people when we are ‘in the game’ and those memories stick forever.

I knew Barry from dealing to both him and his wife, but not personally away from the table.  All I can say is we need more players like him.  RIP Barry.
