Re: Curt Vendel...
I read somewhere that he was born in 1966... so about 53 or 54 years old.
Very tragic indeed! RIP, Curt!

Re: Curt Vendel...
A lost life is always tragic. It's doubly so here considering how much Curt was curating lost Atari treasures.
I will miss his FB posts (the only way I had any contact with him).
RIP

Re: Curt Vendel...
Followed one link to his online obituary.
Looks like he was 53... :(
Holy crap, I'm 58.

I read his age and had the same feeling as I'm just coming up to 55.Darklord wrote: 01 Sep 2020 23:30 Followed one link to his online obituary.

Watched a few videos with him in, he had an incredible amount of Atari knowledge, very sad.
