Hi all,

I was very sad to learn about the passing of W1GOT. I worked with Bill on a number of projects - he could
be rough - but he was always just.

Hello Len,

I am very saddened to hear the news of Bill’s passing. He will be sorely missed for many reasons.

Personally, he always had time to have discussions with me on any aspect of ham radio or those he felt would benefit the CRA. We all enjoyed our chance to work with Bill no matter what the project entailed.  He was a great advocate for our club and a friend to us all.  Chris AA2MJ
