I think that gets overlooked a lot, given what he meant to everything else in the Pokersphere.
He was a class act, he was a gentleman, he was a nice guy, he was easy to talk to and he had a particular talent for making everyone he talked to feel part of the loop- and none of it was a lie or an act, he truly was 'that guy' - but he would also figure out whatever way was best to take your chips and if you read his kindness for weakness, you were going to pay.

I don't think you could find a single player who doesn't respect him for everything he was.
