I used to call him "Easy Fox", since his favorite acronym for his callsign was K5 Easy Fox Able. He was a special ham friend to me, since I was just getting started in the hobby in 1980, when I met him. He gave me some great coaching and assistance, in ham radio. He was an easy going, friendly, likeable bachelor and he will be sorely missed. We will remember you Easy Fox. Thank you for being a good friend.
