[TVARC] RIP Tom Grosvenor, NV1U

Members of The Villages Amateur Radio Club,

 

I am saddened to report that our good friend Tom, NV1U, has passed away.
Tom had missed some activities in the last few days, so a health and welfare
check was requested of the Lady Lake Sheriff's Department yesterday.  Our
worst fears were realized.

 

Tom was a close friend to many of us in TVARC, and he was a strong supporter
of the club.  He served as an officer for a year, and he volunteered to
coordinate Radio on the Square, even when he was brand new to the club.  He
had a way of engaging members and encouraging participation.  Tom was a
fixture at club meetings and events, including Radio Rodeo, Radio on the
Square, the MS Walk, QCWA brunch, nets and Chicken Chompers (a weekly
gathering at Chick-fil-A).  He had an endearing, quirky sense of humor and
was always ready with a story.

 

Recently, Tom had become a serious student of CW.  He was a member of CWops
(#2303), FISTS (#19407), SKCC (#18720) and the Long Island CW Club (LICWC).
As a member of the LICWC Tom had been teaching a daily CW class to a number
of appreciative students.

 

Tom liked to have a tag line based on his age at the end of his emails.
After his recent birthday he changed it from "72 and I ain't blue" to "73
and I'm still Me!".  Yes you are, Tom. Yes you are!  RIP dear friend.

 

73,

George K2DM

71 and sad you're gone!
