KB1NXE - Thursday 4/4/2019

In a tragic accident, Jim Philopena - KB1NXE passed away while trying to save his dog which fell through the ice. Although, not named in this story, this is him. He was a former coworker of mine, great ham radio buddy and I will miss him immensely... He was an active poster here, and I'm sure a lot of you have seen his posts and debated him in friendly banter.

VERY sad to hear. Yes Jim was a pretty active poster here - in fact his last posts it seems were from Thursday.

what a tragic end. May he and his beloved pooch rest in peace. Condolences to his family and friends.

Sorry to read this. He really loved his dog (link from February).

 

That is so sad. I loved his posts and reading his thoughts and opinions. I only knew him on QRZ but he seemed like a very cool guy. If I remember right he had a girlfriend. My heart goes out to her. I will be praying that the Lord of all eternity helps her through this and helps her with the grieving process that can last a long time and hurts more then anything else we can go through. I am working on that right now. It takes a lot of talking and crying.
