  Terrible news. I’ve been a big fan of Mr. Vendel’s work and his historical knowledge and preservation of Atari. Wishing his family and friends all the best during this difficult time.

  Oh that makes me sad. I'm so sorry. He'll be missed. Great guy & Atari enthusiast. Always helping. He's personally replied to a number of my comments in Atari 8-bit Computers & Atari Museum on Facebook.
