Dear WARA Friends,

We were informed this morning by Nhi Donovan that her husband Andy, WA1GEP, 
passed away yesterday.  As most of you know, Andy had been suffering from 
lung cancer, despite never being a smoker, asbestos worker, etc.

Although Nhi wanted us to inform Andy's ham friends, the memorial service 
will be private, family one.  If you want to send a sympathy card to Andy's 
family:

 Nhi, Adam, and Christopher Donovan
 76 Bedford Rd
        Lincoln, MA 01773

Nhi had recently requested a photo of Andy related to ham radio, which was a 
big part of his life.  Jim N1HCF supplied a photo of Andy doing Net Control 
at a bike race, 10 years ago.  The boy in the photo is his elder son Adam, 
now N1RYD and a student at MIT.  I posted Jim's photo on the wara64 Yahoo 
Group:
