For those members who didn’t know Bob he became a ham and a member of QSY at
our VE session 1/97. He was a sweet man who loved to rag chew with me on 97, worked along side of us helping the JC’s for years, always attend the 4H Fair and was always with us at our meetings when we met at the fire house in Kent Cliffs always bringing cheese cakes to our parties, he was a dear friend to many of us and will truly be missed.

“It is with deep regret that I report the passing of Cathy Luty, KC2BUW.  Cathy had been a licensed ham since 1997, holding a Technician-class license.  To all of us who knew her she was always friendly and always willing to participate in our activities.”

“May she rest in peace.”

“It saddens me deeply to let you all know that Ray Spagna W2VIP became a silent key this morning at 5:00 am.  Ray was responsible for getting both Charlie and I interested in the hobby in the early 90’s and was a member of both QSY and PEARL.  The family will be granting Ray’s final wish to not have a service and to have his ashes spread in his favorite hunting spot next week.  If you would like to send a card to his Mom please feel free to mail it to me and I will make sure that she gets it.”

73, Brenda Lee Spagna N2TTO
