Chris,
I am sorry to have to pass on some news about Roy, WD8RBB.
Roy passed away about 7:15 this evening.
He was at home and had his family around him.

I just found out from NL7CF and KB8DNA on Echolink.
We all had a sked three nights a week which included Roy.

I talked with Roy on 11-1-2011 because he hadn’t been on echolink for several weeks.
He didn’t sound good when I talked with him, and said he was not feeling well at all.

Sorry to have to pass this on, but I knew you would want to know. You knew most of the old crowd at
Brandon Club. I got on the PPK Echolink just a minute ago and told Jim so he will pass it on from his end.
I did want to tell you personally because you knew Moose and Roy and the old group of guys.

73,
Stay Well
Harold Stang
