Used to love the old PES games with him doing the commentary

Great commentator and to me the sound of Sunday lunch in the 90's.

Did he do the round-up on Gazzetta Italia? Very good. Therapeutic watching back in the day.

Think he did just the main commentary on the live games. James Richardson hosted and Gary Bloom did the round up.

No. I'm from Seattle. His life has had a hige impact on the area. He co-founded Microsoft here with Bill Gates. He owns the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. He owns the Portland Trailblazers in the NBA. Partial owner of the Seattle Sounders in MLS.

Along with all of that the Allen Institute which has a few different incarnations in health research. Along with other philanthropic endeavors.

This will rock this part of the world.

Gone pretty young like Steve Jobs. Something must either be up with being around early PC components or Bill Gates is bumping them off...a sort of tech giants royal rumble if you will. There can only be one left standing!

RIP.
