[TVARC] RIP Tom Grosvenor, NV1U

[w3us at casa-aloha.net]

We recently interacted with Tom at The Land during CQWW SSB.  He smiled and said he "was just learning.”  Tom was a humble man with a quick, funny wit.  RIP Tom; you will be missed.

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.
