Google has no mention. Yet.
How can we confirm?
Hopefully, when they do find out, they will talk about his great
contributions to the microcomputer industry, not just that that was where
Gary Kildall was when IBM came a'calling. (although THAT might be what
gets the news media to notice?)

I got to meet him a few times @ the San Mateo electronics swap meet.? It
was the huge version before all had petered out into small events.
He loved to auction off the good stuff, and would bring both Godbout
branded and Compupro stuff.? The latter was as solidly tested and
engineered of course as anything eve made for any standard or computer.
So sad to hear of this.
Thanks

The fundraiser for the Godbout family is stuck at $6,211 for the past
couple of days. Maybe cctalk'ers can give it a jump-start.
