[PVRCNC] W0UCE - SK

[Jim K4QPL]

It is with deep sadness and loss we must report the sudden death this
morning of Jack Ritter, W0UCE. Jack was not only a fine operator but a
friend to all and deeply committed to helping others. Our hearts go out to
Fran and the family. There was never a time when someone needed a helping
hand that Jack wasn't there for them. 

 

When Nate, N4YDU, called me just now when I was running 15M in the contest,
it totally knocked the wind out of me with the tragedy of Jack's passing.
I'm sure all of his many friends will feel the same.

 

Arrangements are unknown right now. Nate as PVRC-NC East chairman, asked me
to get this out and he will pass on further word when available.

 

RIP, my friend Jack.

 

73,

 

Jim, K4QPL
