Gamba died sometime between November 1 and November 3, 2003, in his home in Los Altos, California. His death at age 65 was judged to be a suicide. Professionally he worked as an electronics designer specializing in telecommunications within the defense industry of Silicon Valley, and his private passion was old Macs. He also loved working on his automobile himself, played clarinet and piano, did volunteer restoration of church pipe organs thruout California, and had served as a volunteer powerboat mechanical engineer for a Bay Area Sea Scout troop. For most of his life he had struggled with depression, and found focus and comfort in trying to develop encyclopedic knowledge of old Macs and sharing it with others who also loved Macs. I have come to know about him only earlier this year thru computer volunteer work I am doing for his sister. Gamba, RIP.
