- Ω - Posted January 16 Report Share Posted January 16 Airshack is a good friend, I met with my association with the TI-99/4A and later with the Atari 5200 and interest in the TRS-80 Model III. Over the years he's become a guy I truly admired and respected. A former United States Air Force officer, a pilot for Southwest Airlines and the creator of a couple of real good TI-99/4A games as well. Unfortunately James/Airshack is losing his battle with stage 4 cancer and will not be with us much longer. It's sad that the good ones we will miss and admire always seem to leave us first. I will miss him. We met in person the first time at the Fest West in Woodland, Washington and he was truly one of those type of people who leave a lasting and positive impression. To those of us who knew him, I'm sure there will be a void, but for his wife and two daughters I feel extremely sad that they will be losing undoubtedly one of the most important and influential people in their lives.

MaximumRD Posted January 17 Report Share Posted January 17 So sorry to hear this, my condolences, goddamn cancer, my mother went from that as well very rapidly after finding a black spot on her lung on x-rays, far too young. It’s a horrible thing.
