Very sad news even though we knew things were not looking good. I last worked Fred exactly one month ago on December 3 on 160 meters.
RIP my friend.

ODV,
I am very sad to forward the news below. Fred and I chose our callsigns together when I was his tenant while in law school. My call “is just a dit” from his call.
73 in mourning,
Dave K3ZJ

It is with immense sadness that I share with you the passing of our dear friend Fred Laun K3ZO. Fred passed away this evening at 7:03 PM.
Fred became ill on December 15 and was transported from his home to Inova Fairfax Hospital on the 18th. His condition worsened as time progressed. He was battling an infection and COVID.
It was Fred's desire to not have any formal funeral or ceremony. Certainly the club will want to recognize him and celebrate a ham radio icon at a later date.
We knew this day would eventually come. It doesn't make it any easier. There was just something about tuning the bands during a contest and hearing K3ZO. You knew everything was right with the ham radio world. RIP OM. You were one of a kind!
