It is with a sad heart I pass this information on about our brother Les Silva kh6cuj. Which I received this morning.
I don’t know if they are receiving visitors, but they are living in a temporary home, since the fire in their home several months ago.

Subject: Les Silva

I received the following text this morning from Mary Anne Silva, Les’ wife:

"Good morning Chip.  Just letting you know that Les is in Hospice care but is here at our temporary home.  His heart and kidneys are failing and he is deteriorating rapidly.  He is very short breath most of the time. 
   Please pass on to Calvert and AARC clubs.  I don’t know how much longer I will have him with me.  😢😢.   Thank you so much.  Mary Ann”

I think that prayers would be in order at this point..will pass  along info as I receive it


Charles : please ;let our Board/officers know 

THANKS
