I just saw the post on J2Games.com (
http://www.j2games.com/new/forum/index.php?topic=6356.0) mentioning that Bill Kunkel, known to many of us as The Game Doctor, passed away yesterday. Details are sketchy at best at this time.
Bill was a forerunner in many fields, including comics, wrestling magazines and gaming magazines where he arguably created the genre with Arnie Katz and later refined it with both Arnie and Joyce {Worley}.
He was also a forerunner and trailblazer with preservation, he gave the founders of Out-of-Print Archive permission to archive his works, which we have done many of already with many more to go. Bill was open to the reasons for an archive like OoPA and openly supported us at every opportunity.
I was fortunate enough to interview Bill while with Retromags.com,
http://www.retromags.com/forums/topic/4126-the-game-doctor-is-in/page__p__20532__hl__%2Bbill+%2Bkunkel__fromsearch__1#entry20532. We will miss you Bill. You rocked the world at every step you took. We will remember you every time we open a VG&CE issue and see your column, or read a review you wrote, or a forum post on the web.
