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.
