Sorry I haven't posted this sooner. In the relatively short time that I got to know George KC3ESH, we hit it off right away and he became a great friend. He was excited to become a ham, something he had wanted to do since childhood, and his excitement was contagious! He brought his enthusiasm with him when he joined Warminster ARC, with his wife Kathy KC3FBY following suit, both of them becoming involved in any activity they could make time for, and each rapidly moving into roles of responsibility, with Kathy bringing her organizational skills to fill the role of Secretary, and George eventually becoming club President - a title he still held at the time his key went silent.
George was easy to like, his good humor and patience always leading the way, and was excellent company over a glass of fine whiskey. He left behind his best friend and wife, Kathy, three wonderful daughters and an amazing son, and his memory will stay with us for all time. Until we meet again in the aether, 73 my friend...
