   He and I worked together on TV Ontario's 'Bits and Bytes' and 'The Academy'   
   series and we'd also meet at some of the old World of Commodore shows. On Bits   
   and Bytes he was more of a behind-the-scenes consultant but on The Academy he   
   was a co-host along    
   with Jack Livesley; definitely worth watching:

   He knew 6502 systems inside out and had an exceptional knack for explaining   
   computers in a way that everyone could understand, not to mention the many   
   utilities and other programs that he contributed to the community; a great   
   loss indeed.
