Thanks for passing this along Peachie!
I couldn't have said it any better. He was always a joy to play against and very funny guy.
I will surely miss him.
RIP Coolbreeze
Peace

: Hi All,
: I am not sure if any of you all remember Coolbreeze (Johnny Gaines), however I have just learned of his passing today from his daughter's Facebook page.
:
: He was A true sportsman of the game.
: He also held the first live Gin Tourney way back in the day in his home town in Louisiana. Hosted it as his restaurant.
: I had the privilege of being his gin partner in two of the live games in Birmingham. He was a true gentleman and an awesome partner.
:
: I will miss him saying "hey fuzzy" in the gin lobby and playing him a game of Gin.
: Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers.
