I reverse engineered some his stuff by single stepping through his assembler language ... so I know how he codes.
The synth play routines in Tearaway Thomas are inspired by him.
Many of his ideas (like expressing music as a byte-code language for each channel rather than a "channel by Y" grid) are things I only ever admired from afar (how would you edit that???).
The man was a genius. A true genius.

I always hoped to meet him some day.
I learn now that this is impossible.

What a shame and a loss to the world.
