I'm really sorry to hear that!  I communicated with him for quite some
time back in the 90's.  From his communication, he seemed to be a quite
decent person.  As a matter of fact, my mind, too, was on him just
before I read this message.

I remember when he got this computer.

Yes, and I think he wrote a few articles, too.. for Underground and
maybe some others..
