Saddening news, 48 is no age.
I could have sworn I moved this thread to CH/Entertainment earlier. I'm not entirely sure this is the correct forum for it. I had assumed Transition had posted it in the wrong forum by accident. Now that he's moved it back again and left a redirect, it's pretty obvious he wants it here.
Must be a big fan, I guess.
This being an Amiga forum, I agree with your moving it and disagree with Transition moving it back. Sad news when anyone dies, but hardly front page Amiga news item.
