I have some sad news for some of you.
Recently Dirk called to tell me that Heiko Brendel, a good friend of us, passed away at the age of only 43.
Some of you might remember his nickname in the german arcade scene, Brendelino. He always came when we invited for a Daddelparty.
I was shocked, because Heiko was a really really nice guy and I remember some entertaining conversations and beers with him. He worked as a bartender in a bar in Frankfurt, where some VIPs showed up eventually. Rock-and Pop-Stars, actors, etc. I always loved when he talked about them anbd his work or when he brought his collection of handhelds etc. He always brought some stuff to show others.
So after a few days to think about it I decided to tell the arcade world that he has left us forever.
I will honor his memory and I will miss him sadly on future parties
Rest in peace, Heiko. I would love to say we will meet again some day, but I don't believe in things like that.
I added some pictures so maybe you guys who attended our parties will recognize and remember him.
Enjoy your life, guys, it could be over tomorrow!
