One of the nicest people in pinball I ever met. An incredible generational talent.

This may be remembered as the night that Chicago died.

Quoted from littlecammi:

Lyman's spirit deserves to be coded into Elvira's House of Horrors in tribute (as a special haunt or maybe as the top deadhead). Ironic though, because the only one who could write such code properly would be Lyman himself.

Not sure what I think about this. A tribute of some sort as an Easter egg would be nice but Lyman as a deadhead might be too much.

But coding could be minimal. Just convert an existing deadhead and replace the graphics. Getting new audio might be tough though.

It appears Josh is going to do what he can to see that Lyman’s work on CCr won’t be forgotten.

Quoted from ifpapinball:

Fortunately we worked on stuff closest to the start button first. I don't know a lick of programming so I'm thankful we were as far into the project as we were when this tragedy happened.
We were currently working on the (spoiler alert) two-stage wizard mode for High Noon. Rules are in but that Lyman choreography polish we've all grown to appreciate and love hadn't been meticulously implemented yet.
There's also potentially (Spoiler alert) some hardware features to our update that had not been fully implemented yet.
I'll be seeing this thing through without a doubt. Him and I were so proud of the work we accomplished on this thing and there's no way he wouldn't want to see the community enjoy the update.

Quoted from Hillel:

Like many of us that view Pinball as more than just a game, I believe I distinctly feel the contributions of each team member who was involved hands-on, in the design/code of the pin. However, when playing the 3 games I own that Lyman coded, I feel the presence of his spirit & love for the game, under the glass. To love playing his games, is to love a major facet of the man. Without hesitation, I would purchase multiple shirts with this awesome graphic of his stance on it, if I knew the proceeds would be going to his grieving beloved wife. I hope someone in the hobby who has the means to produce such shirts/hoodies will step up to offer these in Pinside Shops, as well as name a special tournament award that emulates Lyman, in his name. The name Lyman Sheats Jr. should live on in this hobby & industry, as do the names of legendary athletes we love who have passed on, IMHO.
