anyone that knew Luigi will im sure have fond memories of him.i lived above his restaurant with my dad when i was a young teenager so have great memories of him from then. RIP Luigi you will be greatly missed xxx Title: Re: RIP Luigi(nottingham player) Post by: GreekStein on April 03, 2009, 09:12:31 AM Wow this is a shock as I remember Luigi turning up to gala after his restaurant closed every night to play cash with us.
His bark was worse than his bite but one of the characters who definitely made for a more interesting game of poker. Thoughts are with his family. RIP Title: Re: RIP Luigi(nottingham player) Post by: kinboshi on April 03, 2009, 09:14:36 AM That is sad news.

RIP +1, he certainly had interesting starting hands in PLO8.. RIP Luigi Title: Re: RIP Luigi(nottingham player) Post by: RED-DOG on April 03, 2009, 10:32:12 AM OMG! I'm shocked. We shared a £1/2 cash table most nights at DTD, the most recent being last Tuesday. He seemed in fine fettle then.

He was always good for a bit of banter at the table. RIP Luigi Title: Re: RIP Luigi(nottingham player) Post by: snoopy1239 on April 03, 2009, 01:38:10 PM A regular at Gala Notts and present when I played my first ever live tournament. Was never the most cheerful of chaps, but few had a genuine bad word to say about him and he'll be severely missed. R.I.P.

Luigi and I go back many years playing Kallloki etc and we never had one cross word between us. Feel very sad for his family as I know he worked hard for them all his life. RIP my friend, I will miss your warm greetings.
