I have had folks tell me this was, or is a very
gruesome page, so be it, these were friends of ours who have provided us
with much help and entertainment over the years and will in many cases NEVER
be replaced. Good friends are a lot like a Great Meal, not necessarly hard
to come by, and should never be forgotten. Best 73 Darrell
Below are Pictures of three Family Members who have passed away and a number of very well known Amateur Radio operators, there are many more Amateurs I knew who have passed away, but at this point in time I have no pictures of them. There is also a picture of VE1AIA (92 this year) & VE1LZ (passed away at age 86 June 1st 2015), With Wayne Mills (VE1AGU) is John Brady VE1WZ & Doug Conrad VE1UY.
At or near the bottom of this page is a list of many others I have known well to very well , over the year, many of these calls have been reissued and are now held by other Amateurs, whom to the best of my knowledge are in the list, and I am sure there are others. If you see, or find an error please let me know. There are Images of more Deciesed Friends under the Slide Show
