https://obits.goldsteinsfuneral.com/stewart-cheifet He came to VCF East years ago: https://youtu.be/Ncnje4DdRxE. I had tried to get in touch with him the last 5 years without success. I wonder if he was going through some illness. He will be missed! I know him best for his hosting of Computer Chronicles. Jeff Brace
Sad news. Meeting him in person at VCF was a cherished memory. On Wed, Dec 31, 2025 at 12:36 PM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Aww man. He was such a nice guy and he so wanted to document the history of NASA. I just posted this on my work's slack channel, hopefully obits will take this on. On Wed, Dec 31, 2025, 10:36 AM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

In his obit, it says at the bottom, Make a donation in his honor to the Michael J Fox foundation. Maybe Stewart had Parkinson’s? Sent from: My extremely complicated, hand held electronic device.
