Chuck Forsberg died on September 24, 2015, in Portland, Oregon [anewtradition.com]. He was 71.

Chuck was a man of many accomplishments. He exhibited a multi-faceted persona that friends, family, loved ones and even Chuck would acknowledge, was at times quirky and contradictory.

Chuck Forsberg was:

        -An intellectual genius, who always seeded his ideas, accomplishments and creations with a stiff measure of pragmatic common sense.

        -A technical engineer who was as comfortable writing the English language as he was writing computer code or designing electronic circuits.

        -Someone who couldn’t remember people’s names or faces, but retained the complex details of electronic circuits he had designed 40 years earlier.

        -That rare engineer who combined expertise and proficiency in both software and hardware engineering.

        -A self-taught and self-described "know-it-all" on nutrition and diet, while conceding being as much as 200 pounds overweight.
