Quoted from BlueIrocGuy:Very sad to hear of Lyman Sheets passing and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.
I chatted with him at an MGC show a few years ago, after he happily signed a Luci translite that I brought up to him. He graciously spent a lot of time talking to me and one of my sons about rules, strategy, and coding on AC/DC and Met. It was the highlight of the show for me and a memory that won’t be forgotten.
On a positive note, it’s kind of cool to think that as long as pinball still exists, people will still get to experience the love and coding genius he put into his machines, far into the future!
Similar story. Just wanted to say hi and tell him how much I enjoyed AC/DC that I had just bought. Made a joke about how bad I was at it and trying to figure out scoring strategies. He then spent 5 minutes giving me tips and asking about what I was doing. He did it in a way where he didn't want to spoil the game but instead nudge me in certain directions.
Just seemed so kind and passionate about it. Tremendously sad day for the hobby. But as you said, his legacy will live on in the games he worked on and all the people who were inspired by his work.
