He was the webmaster of the CC&GTCC website. He ran the Tuesday night before the start of the annual CC&GTCC convention Online Chippers Party at the Palms Casino. A tradition started during the convention's run at the Riviera was Friday lunch at Kady's Coffee Shop, which we named in his honor, the Susong Burger Lunch. He was one of the four Limo Studs. He beamed the convention by webcam to those who could not attend. He was an organizer of the Wednesday night online Chippers poker tournament. He turned a hobby of remote individuals into a community. A community of friends. His contributions to the hobby are second to none.
