[MilCom] Jack NeSmith SK

My message last week got held up as spam by the newsgroup software, so maybe this one will make it thru. My post below was originally posted 6/18/2015


I just got off the phone with Jack NeSmith's daughter. She and Jean wanted 
me to pass along that Jack "Grunt" NeSmith passed away this morning in a 
local hospital in Florida.

Jack was diagnosed a few weeks ago with brain cancer and went through 
surgery. Things were looking up and he was in high spirits. But in the end 
the radiation and chemo weakened him and pneumonia developed Monday. He went 
into the hospital Tuesday but things had progressed to far for a recovery.

Jack has been my close friend for well over 25 years. We shared a lot 
including daily telephone calls and visits. He was quite the character, 
loved scanners and in particular, milcom monitoring.

According to Jean there will not be a service, so we won't be heading down 
to FLA. If I learn anymore I will pass it along.

Rest in peace Jack. Gayle and I will miss you, as well as your many 
scanner/milcom friends.
