[Dx-qsl] KI4RU -- NOW SK

[Tru Perry]

To all members of this reflector:

It is with a very heavy heart that I must tell you Bob McCourt, KI4RU, 
passed away Monday, Nov. 3, at 7:20 a.m.

Those of you who are "old timers" to this reflector will know of Bob and 
what a great person he was.  I have never known anyone to put so much 
time, effort and money into helping Hams and SWL'ers from all over the 
world, get the correct information resulting in successful requests for 
QSL confirmations.  I know he made financial investments for CPU 
programs and spent hour after hour keeping his Data Base up to date and 
although some people offered compensation, he never, ever accepted it.  
He often told me that when someone said "Thanks to you, I finally 
managed to get the confirmation I needed so badly".  That was better 
than money.  That was his total reason for all his work.

In my opinion, Bob was not one of the best Data Base Managers in the Ham 
community .... HE WAS THE BEST.

For many of us, Bob was someone you would be proud to call a close 
personal friend.  You could always count on him, he never let you down.  
And of all of the possessions he cherished, none came close to the love 
he had for his wife Carol.  She has some very hard days ahead of her now 
and I know you all wish her well.

I just thought you would want to know.

Bob, I will miss you very much, but will never forget you.
