[NLRS] KC9GIQ SK Information

[Chris]

For those of you that knew him, Albert "Bud" Pichler
went SK as of 4:20 P.M. Saturday, July 19th 2008 after
complications recovering from a quadruple bypass
surgery performed earlier in the month. 

He was a member of the Chippewa Valley VHF Contesters,
and all around great guy. His always had a positive
attitude, and had nothing negative to say of anyone. 

He always had kind words for all he spoke to, and
always added humor and wit to the conversation. He
will be sorely missed. All we ask for are positive
thoughts and prayers for his family and friends
through this tough time.

Arrangements have been made locally for a memorial/
visitation service for this coming Wednesday the 23rd
of July 2008, at Stokes and Mundt on Hwy 12 in
Altoona, WI from 4-6 P.M.
