A long time friend of mine, AAC member RichardO, passed away of an apparent heart attack a couple weeks ago. I've held off posting a notice on AAC until we were pretty sure that all of his friends and relatives had been notified properly.
In addition to an extensive and practical knowledge of electronics that he was always eager and willing to share, Richard was an avid bicyclist his entire life. Each year he and some friends would do their annual ColorRide where they would ride up and down some of the mountain passes here in Colorado to see the changing colors. It is my understanding that this is what they were doing when Rich passed away. All indications are that he passed quickly and how fortunate he was to pass doing something he so passionately loved.
I met Rich in the late 1980's and my life has been much the richer for it. He leaves behind a great many friends who loved and respected him immensely.
He will be missed.
