That is sad news indeed. Perhaps you have more information than was given in 
the link, but in the comments it reveals that the address is the Mountain 
Winery:

Perhaps that was the venue for the memorial. I suppose we will have more 
official news in a day or two. But, my friend's sister, who lives in 
Oakland, was married to a (different) Robert Pease, and he would also be 
about 70. When we visited her in 2003 enroute to Yosemite, I drove her car, 
which was a VW Superbeetle.

Strange, too, is that I just last week found a couple of old issues of 
Electronics Design and I read some articles by Robert Pease.

I met Robert Pease several years ago when he gave a seminar at Arrowfest. He 
was quite a character, and I enjoyed the way he presented his material. He 
will be sorely missed (if the rumors of his passing have not been greatly 
exaggerated).
