Larry Long, Jr. (Booker1) died on May 28,2011. Hands down he was the best player to play regularly on BBO, and more importantly, he was a real gentleman. He will be missed by all who knew him.

I heard about this. He was a good guy, one of the quiet regulars. RIP Booker1.

Am not sure why this thread would be considered neither bridge- nor BBO-related.

Gives a new meaning to the term "offline" bridge.

booker1 was a partner of mine in ACBL tournies at BBO. I did not know him well, but I do know he was the best partner one could have when playing defense. He made a roadmap of the hand that even I could see. I loved playing with him. May he be playing 7NT doubled and redoubled, vulnerable, making based on a 2 way finesse for the queen that only he could find. Thank you Larry for the games you played with me.
