Thanks for informing us here!

I've read several articles from him back then and when the retro bug
bit me a few years ago I found lots of new stuff, sometimes even
personal stories. Reading these stories it became clear that he had
what other programmers / persons were missing: An identity.

Though he was mainly a Commodore pioneer he did a lot of assembler
stuff - so this is probably the most fitting farewell a 6502
programmer
can get (found in a Commodore forum):

LDA JIM
STA HEAVEN
