RIP GlenVanDenBiggelaar
« on: March 23, 2017, 01:18:58 PM »
Probably not my place to post this as I've never really dealt with the man, but I've just learned through the Coco mailing list that Glen VanDenBiggelaar (of The Amiga Lounge and The Coco Lounge) has passed away.

RIP Glen, my condolences to family and friends.

As a favour for one of Glen's friends:

Quote from: CraigM
Hi Thanks for posting about Glen he was a member of the Amicue computer club here in Edmonton Alberta Canada, I'm the president of the club, he will be missed at our Saturday brunches at Haps, and he grew to be our best amiga geek  for sure. He seemed to soak all the information from the club and anywhere he could find it. He was such a positive fellow and always brought something interesting to the Amicue club meetings. This was so sudden, his friend Cory came by to lunch today. Can you post this in this thread as i can't at this time. Craig president of Amicue and Amitrix Developement INC.

Perhaps his untimely death might help remind some of those around him just how mortal we are.  46 years old is way too young to die.


That's the part that really hits home... only two years older than me.
