Mark R. Brown passed away RIP
« on: May 10, 2018, 06:43:06 PM »
First, I apologize if this has been posted before. I was not aware of it. A good friend and colleague of mine is doing a project about old computers and was looking for permission to use some of Mark R. Browns articles (from Info 64/Info/.Info magazine) in his paper. He was Googling him to track down an email and found this:

http://www.lensingfuneral.com/obituaries/obituary-listings?obId=414479#/obituaryInfo

He asked me if I thought it was the same person which I'm sure it is given the location and I know his wife Carol passed away suddenly in 2004. He wrote on his website and on Kim Lemon's site about Carol's sudden passing. I had no idea he passed away especially in 2015.

Second, I'm sorry to post another RIP article in one week.

I really, really enjoyed the Info 64/Info/.Info magazines. I thought they had great 64/128/Amiga articles, excellent reviews, great humor, and I loved their rumors column. Plus, it was all created on Commodore hardware. I was sadden when they folded in 1992.

If you have never read any or it has been a long time check them out here:

...he dropped off the forum.  This was several years ago when the forum was still going.


He was pretty active on Kim Lemon's site as well and then dropped off too. He had posted that he was selling his vast Commodore computer collection because of medical bills and then there was nothing after that.

He had a personal site here:

http://www.atomicairship.com/

However, the waybackmachine does not have anything from this site.

Here is a profile of him:

I know it is inevitable as we get older but I still find it sad.
