    Ron was a faithful & valuable member of the Central Florida QRP Group. He attended for the past 9 years making the hour long drive to our monthly outings in Sanford, FL from his home in Cocoa, FL. He was a great friend, outstanding wizard with anything electronic and was always helping everyone else hoist antennas and troubleshoot equipment.

    Ron was one of the most patient Elmers that I've ever met. He enjoyed helping others tweak their rigs and antennas and learn to copy morse code (CW) better.

    Ron was a US Marine veteran with combat experience in Viet Nam. He will be sorely missed in the days ahead. Rest in peace good friend!

    Sincerely,
    Kelly E. McClelland, K4UPG for the Central FL QRP Group
