John lost his battle with cancer this year. But his legacy lives on and no one -- nothing -- can diminish that. His profile pix in QRZ does him justice and is how he is remembered. As a Navy vet he served our country with distinction from '59 to '64. He remained a life member and active in both the American Legion and the VFW, As a manager he served the workers safety and welfare at some of GM's largest plants in Ann Arbor, Detroit, and Pontiac for 37 years as the safety and security officer. As a ham he was a mover and shaker in the Great Lakes Repeater Association in the 70s. They had 4 repeaters on 2M including ones that were major for the era on 16/76 in Detroit and 25/85 in Clarkston. In retirement he and his wife Linda enjoyed their 5 children and homes in Michigan during the summers and Florida during the winters. Your days of pain from the cancers and frustration from QSB and QRN are behind you my friend. 73 for now. RIP until we are reunited in glory.
