Many hams have given so very much to our hobby. In their passing, it seems unfair to only remember them with a simple callsign listing in the pages of QST or a quick note in a club newsletter. We hope to provide a method by which you can remember amateur radio operators that have contributed to our hobby.

Was a great guy loved ham and was a very good mechanic matter of fact he was the only guy i know that made a 348 Chevy engine into a VW Beadle had to drive it from the VW's back seat but man o man would it fly...........
My twin brother Danny was always the
contact that I longed to hear each week.
We grew up together starting in CB radio
in the early 70's and graduated into the
HAM ranks in the late 70's. He is sorely
missed.
Danny was a HAM since the late 70's and
was my QSO partner for many years. He
will be missed.
Art passed away at age 92 while a
resident of the Missouri Veteran's Home.
He had only been there for a couple of
months. He was one of the first, if not
the first ham I made contact with and
became a great friend and Elmer for 13
years. He was a WW2 Navy veteran, having
served on the US Bataan. RIP my dear
friend. 73 Cliff KCØSDV

Fair winds and following seas, my friend!
Bill passed away after a lengthy illness. Bill was a ham in the Thousand Oaks, California area and was DCS-1 with the LA Sheriff's Department for over 9 years. Bill taught communications at Cal State University until his retirement. He received his license in 1968.
Robert "Uncle Bobby" May was the first and only Amateur Radio Operator in our family/extended family. His kind encouragement led to my wife and I earning our licenses thereby tripling the family ham radio operator population.
He was a US Navy Corpsman, Vietnam veteran, and quite simply a good man.
My good friend and radio companion, Phil Kenny
K6AXY, passed away last night in his sleep. Phil
was with his daughter Carol Elliott in San Carlos
when he went Silent Key.
Phil was a great friend and I am very sad. That
he was not alone and with his family was a
blessing. God is awesome and He was able to let
Phil be with loved ones at the very moment
needed.
Still miss Phil a lot. We were such dos amigos, hard to
realize how short life can be.

Rev. Dr. Robert E. Rediehs, 84, of Timonium, MD; formerly of Danville, IL. At one time he lived in Hinsdale, IL. Bob lived two blocks from me. I saw him walking the neighborhood often (over several years)and one day he stopped me while I was driving home. "I see your ham plates" he said. After that we had many conversations during his neighborhood walks. He worked CW exclusively, antenna in his attic, he didn't want to scare his neighbors. Never knew he was a minister. RIP Bob.
Excellent operator & net control. Bonner
County ARC officer & VE. Served his
community in ARES & AmRRon.
Rich was my first contact as a new novice in
January 1958. We were both 16 at the time. He
lived in east St. Louis IL I lived across the river in
St. Louis MO. Being somewhat close, we met,
and developed a lifetime friendship. A natural
match as were only children and learned
tolerance together. Over the years marriage,
careers, and moves separated us and we lost
track of each other. Reconnected 1993 and found
we had both worked for same telephone
company. From then on until his death in 2015
we stayed in contact, visited as often as possible
and enjoyed talking about our youth and ham
radio.
Goodbye my brother, God bless you. I miss you.

To build the largest and most complete Amateur Radio community site on the Internet - a "portal" that hams think of as the first place to go for information, to exchange ideas, and be part of what’s happening with ham radio on the Internet. eHam.net provides recognition and enjoyment to the people who use, contribute, and build the site. This project involves a management team of volunteers who each take a topic of interest and manage it with passion. The site will stand above all other ham radio sites by employing the latest technology and professional design/programming standards, developed by a team of community programmers who contribute their skills to the effort. The site will be something of which everyone involved can be proud to say they were a part. The eHam.net Team, Revision 07/2020. |
