To all -

In regard to Ron KB8VTN's message on the Wednesday evening net -

Ralph Carder KB8BKA, from Cardington OH (near Delaware) would 
occasionally stop by the repeater and chat for a bit - he was a staple 
on 2m simplex, and when he got his General Class license he was part of 
the AM groups on 75m and 40m.  Ralph was a pretty decent guy, I never 
met him in person, but he would always try to get a conversation in if 
he heard me or I heard him.  He passed away at home, according to the 
obituary that I found -

Gone way too soon.
