To QCWA members,
 
I am passing along this message from Bob  Cumming.
 
Norm will be missed.

<<It is with a heavy heart that I announce the  passing of Norm Gertz, K1AA.

This afternoon I received a phone call from  Kim, His granddaughter, 
that Norm had passed away.

Norm was one of my  mentors and I might say my CW elmer.  I even 
convinced him to try VHF  and introduced him to the world of 6M DXing 
(becoming his elmer).  Norm  was never afraid to try something new in 
Ham Radio.  It is ironic that  this weekend is the  CQ Worldwide CW DX 
contest.  This is the  first year K1AA will be absent.  His key is 
indeed silent, Rest in  eternal peace old friend.

Services for Norm will be at the Beth Shalom  Chapel on Lee Road just 
west of I-4 (across from Home Depot) at 10 AM  Tuesday, December 1, 2009.
