Shocking news!
Harvey Bader was a very nice person, an excellent tournament player, and a very good friend. This news comes as a great shock to me.
I just spoke to Harvey last week about the cruise tournaments I was working on and he asked me to move my cruise date to later in the month (October) because he was going on a 14 day cruise from NY in October and didn't want to miss my tournaments. I am working on a 300 player tournament and had a date I had been working with. I changed the cruise date for Harvey. That is how much I wanted Harvey to be apart of my event.
Harvey was alway supportive of my ideas and offered to help in anyway he could, That was the kind of guy he was. It wasn't just me anyone that plays in the tournaments Harvey would help, tournament pro's to beginers.
As I am writing this post I am looking at pictures of Harvey at this years WSOB II party laughing and have fun, I can't believe you're gone. Rest in peace, you will be greatly missed my friend.
GOD BLESS!
