scottobearI just found out that Ted, my grandmother's housemate for the last 25 years or so, passed away last night at 6pm. He'll be missed a great deal... he was a wonderful guy, full of knowledge, good vibes and kindness. I am glad that he made it for as long as he did. I'm surprised that it hit me so hard as it was fairly expected to happen soon, but the reality of it is a blow. He was more a grandfather and mentor than the ones related by blood were.(They both passed away early on in my life.) He's part of why I got into the computer / tech field in the first place.

Ted did what would be called systems design today (though it was a lot different in the 50s and 60s, to be sure), and my dad was an engineer who dabbled in electronics... had one of the first hobbyist altair computers back in the day.
