Brendan Hartnett - RIP

[GiMac]

A sad loss to everyone. Condolences to his family.  

Sadly, or fortunately some might say who have been KO"d by him, I only played on the same table as Brendan once, at this year"s Scottish APAT event, but had met him on several occasions at various events around the country.

His infectiously positive attitude was plain for all to see and I admired him greatly. I can only hope to be able to act in the same manner as Brendan did, seeming to laugh in the face of every adversity that was placed before him.

Brendan, you"ll be much loved and much missed. Yours, GiMac.

My best poker memory is watching Brendans fantastic performance in Dublin 2007 - RIP

I had the pleasure of meeting Brendan for the first time last year at Cardiff and I have to say that he was an example to us all as to how to conduct yourself both on and off the table but then having read all your posts from people who knew him a lot better than I did, you all know that.

Even though I had the unenviable task of knocking him out of the tournament on the day that he was inducted into the hall of fame, he still had a few kind words and a smile.

Hopefully there will be a celebration event for him next year in Season 3 but if there isn"t, maybe we could rename one in his honour, as is befitting for a man that is obviously held in such high regard, as an example of the APAT spirit and all that is good about the friendships made in Poker.

God bless and rest in peace.

Nice post.  There will be a Brendan-sized hole at all APAT events, a hole that no one else can fill.

I"m sure Des has plans in place to remember him and honour his name in some form.
