Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Bob Applegate
This is sad, he was a great guy. He not only did great work, but he was a good person. I have his Kim-1 memory and I/O board. I will keep my eye out for an obituary, But if anyone knows someone in his family, please let them know that we as a community send our condolances and will miss him.

Sad news as he was well known in the community for what he did. He had canceled for VCF East as a vendor because of his health. I have his phone number, but if anyone has family contact info then I will contact the family.

It was working before, I don't know why it's down. I was looking for photos and I have one of his table but he was not in it. On Wed, Jun 14, 2023, 8:57 PM Jeffrey Brace <jeffrey@vcfed.org> wrote:

Well it appears that the website is back up and running. I had texted Bob and heard back from his daughter Megan. She wanted to share that they appreciated me reaching out. She said, "he loved being involved with the vintage computer community, and it was a huge part of who he was for his whole life." Bob didn't want a formal memorial service, but they are working on a celebration of life. Check the website for updates.

We are going to miss him! I worked with Bob on his swtpc 6800 MPS replica replacement controller, as a tester. I still have his prototype. Bob lived near my parents where I went to HS in NK, and my 1st ex wife's highschool best friend was related to Bob. Small world. Bill
