Met him in early 90,s and played against him in several tournaments back in the day.
He came to both of our stores in Mn once in 1997 and in 2006 to buy a Whitewater.
One of the most pleasant people in the industry. He could.be at any show and walking someplace and bump into you. He would always stop and say hi see how I was doing and talk pinball. Never too busy to chat.
To watch him take the leap from world class pinball player to world class game designer these past decades was something great for all of us pinheads to take part in .
Thanks for the memories!
