I received a call this evening from the President of the Sacramento Amiga Computer Club (my local group) with the sad news that John Zacharias had passed away. John suffered a stroke while checking out of the hotel in St. Louis following the 2001 show there.
I first met John at the Sacramento Commodore Club in the early 80s. John moved to the Amiga in the 90s. I always appreciated John's help with my computer woes...he spirit will be missed in the Amiga community.
A memorial service will be held in Sacramento on Tuesday, 2/8.
