Former Sega bulldog Charles Bellfield passes away

Charles Bellfield, the former bulldog of a spokesman for Sega of America during the launch of the Dreamcast, has passed away.

His brother Edward Bellfield announced Bellfield’s passing on his Facebook page, saying that Bellfield passed away in San Francisco on Friday night. Bellfield’s Facebook page was full of an outpouring of support and condolences. He was one of the larger than life characters of the video game business, known to me mostly as the witty spokesman for Sega of America from 1998 to 2003, where he served as vice president of strategic planning and corporate affairs.
