Jim Williamson, NQ4T left us on Friday. His wife called me Friday afternoon to let me know that he had passed that morning.
Jim was my Elmer, my friend & like a father to me. Although I haven't seen him in probably 10 years, we spoke on the phone very regularly.
He gave me my novice test (& my first radio). When I lived in High Point, we had breakfast together almost everyday. Jim always gave me great advice & would always do anything for a friend. He helped me build my first G5RV & put up my first tower. He helped so many people get started in this hobby both personally and through W4VEC that I don't think that number could be calculated.
About 4 weeks ago, we were speaking on the phone and Jim said to me that he was"so proud of all that I had accomplished in the last ten years". Coming from him, that meant so much to me because I have always looked up to him so much.
I will miss him more than words can describe, but I know that he is in a better place. My thoughts & Prayers are with his wife Frieda, his children, and the rest of his family.
