Luzi, who was from St. Gallen, Switzerland, was a remedial teacher for children with special needs, according to a press release from Julien’s Auctions which is auctioning the collection on March 30.
As a teacher, Luzi used computers as a teaching aid for his students. Before starting his Apple collection, Luzi collected vintage sewing machines that became the foundation for the Sammlung Albrecht Mey sewing machine museum in Germany.
He volunteered as an IT manager at schools keeping the computer rooms equipped, and bought outdated equipment from the schools as they upgraded to new technology.
Luzi died in a mountain accident in 2015.
