Noooo, last I checked the thread I thought things were going well - terribly shocking and sad to hear, what a blow to the community. Never got meet him unfortunately, would have loved to though, always seemed like such a great guy and seemed to stay positive up until the end. Rest in peace Steve, or should I say Mr. Charland. I'm sure his help and generosity will remain in the community for a long time both in the form documented fixes and memories alike.

"One irreplaceable fuse that blew too early".

Hope there's lots of Gottlieb System 80 up where you are, always in perfectly working condition. Or maybe he would prefer the fixing. A very sad day.

Oh, and when I get back to my collection I'm totally playing my System 80 game first thinking of Steve... I'll have a toast.
