[Kenwood] Bill Leahy, K0ZL, SK

[Larry Clark]

I am sad to report that Bill Leahy, K0ZL, is SK.  Bill and his wife Bonnie, KB0HTC, operated B&B Technical Services in Denver, a Kenwood repair specialist.  Many of you are famliar with Bill's "Full Monte" rejuvenations for TS-850's and 950's.  Bill had a top-notch reputation as a Kenwood serviceman, and his presence will be sorely missed in the Denver area.

Bill was a longtime employee of Coors brewing (now MillerCoors) and worked as an electrician.  He was apparently electrocuted while working alone.

The following is an excerpt from the AP news release:

GOLDEN - A 54-year-old worker died Monday night in an apparent accident at the MillerCoors plant in Golden.

 The body of William Leahy, an electrician at the plant and a 30-year
employee of Coors, was found by co-workers at about 9:30 p.m., said Aimee Valdez, a MillerCoors spokeswoman.

The death, being investigated by the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office, does not appear to be suspicious, said Jacki Kelley, a sheriff's spokeswoman.

"Leahy was well-regarded by his coworkers and our condolences go out to the Leahy family and Bill's friends during this difficult time," a MillerCoors company statement said.
