Who was the sole owner?

I am just guessing, but wouldn't this be David Schmidt? See
http://www.symbolics.com/


Guessing does not always help. As you can read on that page,
David was (is?) providing maintenance. He was not the
owner. The owner (Andrew Topping) died earlier this year
after a long heart problem. AFAIK the situation of the rest
of the last Symbolics is still unclear and no buyer has been
found yet.
