This is indeed sad news. This is not only a deep personal loss, but his passing is a loss to the ARRL. The one consolation is that his failing health is no longer an issue for him. 73 John!

We do not have very many details yet, but we know his health had been failing for some time. I remember John as a true Gentleman in so many ways and know that his faith was always strong. I hope that some of his strength will come to us here as we deal with this sad shock. We will post any arrangements or significant information as it becomes clear.
