I don"t think any words can express the loss this is to all who knew Brendan. I first met him on Day 2 in Dublin when he was 2nd and railed him to the end. We then met many times again, both online at at APAT events. He always had a smile on his face and was true gentleman.

RIP Brendan.

Very sad news. I too had the pleasure of crossing paths with Brendan on a number of occasions. As previously stated he always had time for a chat and a smile for anyone who took the time to say hello.

I think Brendan was APAT's first entry into its hall of fame and as such I would like to propose a memorial tourney in his name. Unsure if that would be practical in the current season or if it should be done in S3. The proceeds of this could go to a charity of his family's choice.

My condolences go to his family.

Such a shame - he was a true gentleman - an inspiration to us all.

He will be greatly missed by all who knew him

My thoughts are with his family and closest friends.

Very sad to hear this devastating news. I was only chatting to him on Saturday evening at Brighton Grosvenor.

A true gent and a pleasure to have known and played poker with him.

My condolences to Family & Friends.

God bless you Brendan. R I P

I never played with Brendan but did read the Hall of Fame script about him. Seems to have been a real gent who overcame such hardship with a smile on his face and true determination. Sad news indeed

Brendan playing the APAT event at the Vic a little over two weeks ago.





Brendan"s review...

"Great Day,at the good old vic. It was like re-discovering an old girlfriend,who you"d left behind,has got all toned up,and was out to imprese.

The dealers were supearb,Dana couldn"t do enough to help me,what a star she is.

The whole Apat crew attended to everything with the style we"ve grown to love.The hardbitten old pros behind their mounrians of cash chips,marvelled at all this new meat,but us Apater"s cash players held our end up.

The drinks flowed,friendshhips were renewed,there  seemed to be a real good vibe last night.......the best Apat yet,all week,roll on season 3.

Good luck to all those left in,have fun,enjoy the ride."

Very sad news.  Brendan was a truly inspiring person to have met and it was a priviledge to have known him.

Rest in peace.

Just got in, and I"m in shock.  I can"t really add much more to the words that have already been said.

Brendan was a real supporter of APAT and especially the Brighton regional.  I had the pleasure of him being sat to my left at the Vic the other week and as usual, his arrival made the table all the better.

My thoughts go out to his family.  We will always remember you Brendan, a true gentleman of APAT and the game.
