I found his name/call sign badge going threw a box of stuff that my friend tom ab1gf got from his estate mostly assorted cables and such and I thats when I found his badge I was going to put it out in the mail? and I called my friend tom only to find out he had passed away??? this is his obituary I found online of Athol ma news's paper . George W. Bliss III died Wednesday, August 16, 2018, in St. Vincent Hospital after a period of declining health. George was born September 27, 1950, in Hanover (Fort Dix), New Jersey, son of the late George W. and Martha (Bestle) Bliss, Jr., previously of Westminster, MA. An only child, George grew up in Germany and attended Ludwigsburg American High School. His family returned to the states when his father retired after 33 years in the U.S. Army. Living in several local area towns, George eventually moved to Athol and lived there for over 30 years. George enjoyed photography. He had a deep interest in electronics and computer installations and repair. George was a ham radio licensed operator, KB1FCB, and a past member of the Mohawk ARC, MARS – Military Amateur Radio Systems and NAAR – National Assoc. for Amateur Radio. He was quite a prankster; he loved decorating for Halloween and Christmas. George leaves three children, George and his wife Laurie of Palmer; Martin and his fiance Michelle of Brookline, N.H.; Christina of Gardner; his ex-wife, Theresa Dattolo of Gardner; one grandchild, Natasha Lynn and one great-grandson, Caleb. George had a very good friend, John Gawronsky of Athol, who shared an interest in ham radio. in closing I hope that QRZ will mark his page as a silent key?
