Bad Things Come in Threes: APCW Perspectives Weekly 24 September 2010

[APCW]

The online gambling industry was dealt a third blow this week, as industry expert and webmaster Ted Loh lost his battle with liver cancer. He leaves behind a wife and three school age children.

Thanks, JT for making this your focus this week--hopefully, this will help get the word out about the importance of helping Ted's family out.

For all the craziness of this industry and whether people may or may not see eye to eye on things, one thing is certain: This industry DOES care and pulls together through the tough times.

This industry DOES care and pulls together through the tough times.

Yes it does!

I am proud to see how many people have helped in the previous fund raisers.

Thank you Jtodd for the beautiful tribute , I know it is not easy to have to do these videos and I pray it is a very long time before you have to do it again.It would be nice to see more programs step up to help Ted's family ,I remember the money they raise for the Tsunami selling an ad was $xxx,xxx.Cancer was Ted's Tsunami and his lifetime work has been wiped out and the family provider is now gone.

Ted did nothing wrong ,he was a smart business man and had money put aside for his family and his future .I know we all have people in need around us and some are struggling to pay their own bills but to the members who have the financial means and to the programs who benefited from Ted Passion and Knowledge of our Industry you should give generously to this fund.He has three children who have no father and I am sure their life is now turned upside down.
I keep two Maneki Neko cats on my deck a red one and a gold one which seems to work on good fortune and happiness.I heard of them first from Ted many years ago and bought them both at Disney in 2008.I am donating $1000 to Ted's Fund ,as an affiliate if I can do this then the programs should be able to match it.I am sure you can come up with some excuses or maybe not think you will get a ROI from it but in his life I am sure you all benefited from Ted and he deserves to have his family taken care of and his life savings restored for his family.

Wow. This one was a definite tear jerker for me. I feel so bad for the family of Ted and also Allan and Lou. I feel especially for the wives because I know I wouldn't be able to go on without mine and it just hurts to see other women going through that.

All I can say is to just stay strong for your kids and show your husbands how strong you can be by doing the best you can and not giving up. They are now your guardian angels and they are watching over you.

Money cannot heal the wounds of these families but it can help them deal with the difficult times they are facing. Whatever we can do as a community will surely help lessen the burden for Ted's wife and kids.

I am praying that this will be the last time JTodd has to come on and tell us about another loss for a very, very long time. It's gotta be tough to talk about such heart wrenching things on camera. Hopefully the next news will be something positive and give us all a much needed boost.

Thanks so much for that widget code! I will use it on my forum and other forums as much as possible!

I think Ted's fund will get a boost from tomorrow (1 October) as payments start going out.
