Default Goodbye Ken (The Shrink) Rest In Peace

It appears Ken Weitzner and his wife, Jackie, passed today. Ken was one of the pioneers of the industry creating websites for players. Ken started out making usergroups 10 years ago and then created TheRx.com, one of the first bettors' forums. He is the owner of EOG.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Tony and his family.

Was confirmed on EOG that Ken and his wife died. Something about an explosion at his house. Very said day for EOG and the industry. I am sure rumors will start spreading but before you speak please remember that a family has lost their parents and grandparents.

My wife and I will be going away for a trip. While we are gone, I have asked mofome to be in charge of the day to day operations of EOG....

I know it's the start of the slow season for many, including Yours Truly...

I won't be posting while we are gone...

It seems like EOG keeps getting better each day with so many new posters adding to the wealth of information that we already have from our old-timers..

It's nice to know I can leave with people like Blondie, Ballwonder, Jimmy Hoffa, and diogee, amongst others to help out...

I feel like this place has always been a second home for me because of ALL OF YOU...

Thanks from the bottom of my heart....

I am grateful to be a part of this Family and for all the support,

P.S.

1 down and 2 to go baby...

Now let's win the remaining 2 Baseball games I gave out on WW, so I can start out with a nice winning record in Baseball!!

Ken
