Friend : Bob Anderson (K4UMK)

Bob was one of the truely good guys in ham radio. He didn't have an unkind word about anybody.

He supported the Roanoke Valley ARC in so many ways, from cooking the great meals at Field Day to locating parts for the club repeaters. His shop was available for the local hams to tinker with their equipment. When the club didn't have a program on meeting night, Bob would pull together one about the latest in communications.

I worked for Bob for a couple of years and learned so much about electronics. It was a great experience.

We'll miss him.
