I just heard that George San Souci ( Ginky ) died. So sad.
This is shocking news when a player as young as Ginky passes.
I just finished reading every post in this thread, and also watched and listened to the Jim Murnak interview, it was a great interview. George was just as I have always believed, a very special person/player and will sorely be missed by all.
I have always looked at George as being a talented man with an outgoing personality. He loved pool, gambling, and just having a good time, I was very envious of George because of how I perceived him, not to mention that he was 30 years younger than me.
I first met George at the Massachusetts State Championships in the year 1991. I was booking the matches at that tournament ( I know i'm a bad guy )and couldn't help but notice this young kid, small in stature that very rarely missed a ball. ( Yes I do have an eye for talent ) I quickly adjusted my line according to how I felt I could induce action against this kid ...IT WORKED... I also played George in the tournament and went to hill hill which George won. We developed a friendly relationship at that tournament that lasted forever. Any ways George won that tournament by beating Earl Strickland in the finals, just as I thought he would. No i'm not saying that George was a better player at that time, but it seemed to me that this was Georges tournament and he wasn't going to be denied. George won the tournament and I won pretty good luring betters that liked Strickland, I got lucky.
We'll never know why things like this happen, most think that It's a residue of life..maybe their right...But I can honestly say that I respected George for his honesty, his out look on life, his courage on and off the table, and his passion for the game that we all love. George was a good man, and a great player, and a solid human being.
My condolences goes out to all that knew him, especially his friends and family.
R.I.P. my friend and maybe someday we'll play some one pocket.
