Just a small closure of thread note...

 

Went to Bobs funeral yesterday in Hampshire, was a cremation with 10 people max and no pallbearers, was a lovely day for it and for once the motorway was a joy to be on. I got the job of choosing some music and writing pretty much all the bit about Bob as his family had lost track of him for 40 odd years so the only person who knew anything was me. All went very well, met the rest of the family who were amazingly nice to me.

 

Said goodbye to Bob and sent him off to the Atarian gaming place in the stars....May he clock Survivor...

Paul, I am very sorry to hear this.  Reading the story of Sue using AtariWriter, and both of them being involved with Atari for a long time hit home a bit.  This is a great community and I wish I knew many of you back in the day when these things were new, but I'm happy to have made some acquaintances today.  Take care..

This does remind of me having to attend Andrew Bradfield's funeral some 19 years ago.  In his case he was only 35?

Life can be so short for some.  Sadly we all have to be prepared to attend more funerals in future because this is what life entails.

 

It is good to mention his passions - or passion.  Because this is what connects us.

Yes, life is pretty unpredictable normally and now much more so at this time..

 

We must enjoy it as we can...

 

Thank you all for being so kind to my old friend and his wife, apart from being lovely people they really were a part of the Atari community in their unique way..
