Forrest Nettles passes away

Post by rbernardo »

Forrest Nettles, vice-president and then president of the Clark County Commodore Computer Club (of Las Vegas), passed away on Oct. 7, 2019. An enthusiastic Commodore fan, he was a supporter of the Commodore Vegas Expo in the early-to-mid 2010's. He even roped me into bringing Commodores and Amigas to the last Las Vegas Classic Gaming Expo in 2014! :) I remember him huffing and puffing to bring his equipment to that show, how he complained how his back was killing him, and then spending most of his time trying to keep his gear running.

He liked going to other non-computer Las Vegas shows, too, like the annual National Association of Broadcasters show and the Creation Star Trek Convention (inviting me to the former and showing me where to get cheap tickets for the latter).

Though we had grown distant, I remember how friendly and generous he was in those earlier times.

Sincerely,
Robert Bernardo

---------- Forwarded message -----------
Forrest's Celebration of Life 9/11/21 from 10-5 at Spring Mountain Ranch State Park's Group Use Area

Please share with anyone I didn’t list in email, as that means I have no email address for them!

Come as you are, bring memories and stories, and we’ll celebrate Forrest! Each car will cost $10 to enter the park. I can reimburse anyone for whom this is a hardship.

Due to fire restrictions, we will be having sandwich, vegetable and fruit trays, as well as water, soda, and desserts.. If you feel the need to bring something,

please bring chips of any kind. Hope to see you all there!

Thanks,

Ellen and Cyndi
