So saddened by this news. Curt entrusted me with two of his prototype Atari systems at last year’s VCF and I am forever thankful. I’m not really sure how to process how big a loss this is for the Atari community. More importantly the loss too his family and close friends must be overwhelming. I hope the best for his family and friends. RIP Curt and I am glad to have known you. -Pete
