I was shocked and saddened to discover through Facebook, that fellow QRPer and Amateur Radio blogger, Ron Bowman W8VZM became a Silent Key today. From the information that appeared on his timeline, it was revealed that Ron was involved in a fatal car crash.
I had worked Ron a few times on the air and we kept in touch through Facebook, commenting on each other's posts. Ron was a QRPer, a CW and an HW-8 fan, and was an all around good person, admired by his friends and coworkers.
My thoughts and prayers go out to him and his surviving family, as they go through this time of mourning and loss.
73, Ron. It was my pleasure to have made your acquaintance and to have known you.
Eternal rest, grant unto him, Lord
And may perpetual light shine upon him.
May he rest in peace. Amen.

Take time to let your family and friends know how much you love them. Our time on this Earth is way too short. And to all my Catholic friends out there - as Fr. Z. says .... go to Confession. You never know when you'll be called Home.
