My condolences to his family. Especially his wife and two kids. Truly sad.
Hope this reaches some folks that might have known Mike Phang and did not hear about his untimely death.
Mike's obituary in today's Toronto Star:
"With great sadness the Phang family announces the sudden passing of Michael Phang on Monday Aug. 6, 2012, in his 42nd year. Beloved husband of Caril, proud father of William and Walter; loving son of Madge and Frank, caring brother to Michele (Tony), Francine, and Donna (Charles); much loved uncle of Jeffrey, Christina, Stephanie, Natalie and Leah; cherished by aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. Mike was the kind of person that you only encounter once in a lifetime. He was generous, intelligent, funny and so beautiful. He taught us to be kind, loving, supportive. His family meant the world to him. Mike was dedicated to all of us that were fortunate to have crossed paths with him, always there for us and never judging us.

We used to write our own game programs and play a lot of games on the classic Commodore 64. Yes, we were huge computer geeks.
