NPARC and the rest of the Amateur Radio Community has lost a great member,
mentor, and operator to the largest “spark transmitter”, the sky and heavens.
There will be no obitutary, or any funeral service, just our memories of a very talented amateur radio operator. 

Scattering of his ashes will be done by his son at a later date. 
Indications are that he will “cast them to the wind” at Signal Hill, Newfoundland. 
A very prominent location for the radio community and from where many radio operators
have taken their signals and “cast them to the wind” in the past and still do to this day using the station VO1AA or VO1AAA.
