Hello Rick and all, This new is very unexpected and a total shock. I really am at a loss ofwords... all I can say is he was a wonderful friend that we will all miss greatly. My prayers for peace are with his family. 73Kermit W9XA On Friday, October 30, 2020, 1:28:12 PM CDT, Roderick, Rick, K5UR via arrl-odv <arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org> wrote: I have some very sad news. I just received a call from Kristen, K6WX, to inform me that our colleague Jim Tiemstra, K6JAT, has passed away. I don't have any further information but will let you know when more is available. Please keep Lilah and the family in your thoughts and prayers. 73,Rick - K5UR_______________________________________________ arrl-odv mailing list arrl-odv@reflector.arrl.org https://reflector.arrl.org/mailman/listinfo/arrl-odv
