   I never met him but his writing style was so folksy that we all felt like we   
   had. I communicated with him by email. His death was a great loss to the   
   Commodore community. You have no doubt seen his C64 videos. If not, they're   
   available on YouTube. As    
   knowledgeable as he was, he never made me feel stupid and always made sure I   
   understood the concepts he was presenting. Yup, he was one of the greats.
