I did not know the Shrink, but certainly knew of him for several years. This event was covered widely on another gambling Forum website that I'm a member of.

It is potentially a very bizaare story as Wes has hinted.

If this angle is true, who knows what the rationale was.

I used to read him a couple times a month. Always was a good read. Hadn't seen his stuff in several years.

My Quote from EOG Post!

All this innuendo stuf is just some crazy talk that will make people take sides & have many hurt feelings on this. I would never talk disrespectful about anyone in a case such as this. Be patient & let the facts speak for themselves. Why make up rumors & conspiracies only to end up looking like a total foolish jerk! I would feel sorry for those of you that can't seem to give some credit & respect to the family & close friends & staff at E.O.G.

Ken (Shrink) gave us a place where we could all have to entertain & mingle & get to know people we would otherwise never have known. I speak personally to that as well. This is nothing short of a tragedy & sorrow. There are things we sometimes never know about people we thought we knew a little something about. I mean I'm sure we all have something we hide from everyone we know. It's just too bad that no body knew what the issues were to be able to intervene & help out to keep this horrible ending from happening. I for one feel just sad & depressed that this all happened. I knew Ken on a personal basis & had several conversations with him. I last spoke to him in Jan. I had sent him a business proposal.

With all this being said I wanted to call the family & see if there was anything I could do & express my deepest condolences & sorrow. I have them in my prayers! I got no answer on one of his phones but on his cell phone this was what his voice mail has on it as of 4-11-10 late this evening! It blew me away, I wasn't expecting that! (song below)

I think it says it all about "The Shrink"

OSU was very good on that show. Very sad and bizarre story. I feel horrible for the stepson and grandchildren who ken loved so much. Dark side of gambling at play here but the wife also just left me scratching my head...
