I met him briefly at Amiga30 in Neuss. He was energetic and funny. I wish I had talked to him.

This is sad news. Anyone knows what the cause was?

Pretty sad news, seeing it in the 30th anniversary videos he seemed happy and well.
I'm happy he was able to attend the show.

Very sad to hear. I met him at the 30th anniversary event in California and he seemed so moved by the passion of everyone there. May he find peace at the Great Workbench in the Sky.
