[QCWA Hotlist] Ben Russell, N6SL, SK

[Ken Simpson, W8EK]

It is with great sadness that I want to report that Ben Russell, N6SL, 
became a silent key this morning.

He had been under hospice care since Sunday. The good news is that 
both of the kids were there, including the daughter from England.

There will be a memorial service on Monday, June 6, at 2:00 PM at 
Grace Episcopal Church in downtown Ocala.

Ben had been very active in QCWA, serving as NCS on the Wednesday 
evening national CW net, until his recent bout with cancer started. 
He had been involved with QCWA both on the national level and local 
level.  I can not begin to list all of the things he has done.  He 
will be missed.

If you need more info, please give me a call or e-mail.

Thanks.

73,

Ken, W8EK
