I am sad to announce that Sandy, W4DUP, became an SK this morning after losing his battle with prostate cancer. Sandy was a regular on the reflector here and a DXBase user since the first version was released. I met Sandy 13 years ago when I moved to Memphis. He was a Federal Express employee at the time. He was an avid DXer and a true gentleman. He was always ready to help another ham and was especially talented when it came to DXBase and other software. Sandy retired several years ago and moved to Cookeville, TN where he was active right up until his death. He will certainly be missed by his friends in TN. He was a great chaser of DX and a talented operator.
Steve, N4JQQ This is the email I received from his daughter today: *Hi all - This is Vicki Whitley, Sandy's daughter. I wanted to let you know that my Dad passed away peacefully early this morning (Friday 5-29-09). The visitation will be at Cookeville Funeral Home Saturday, May 31 from 4-7pm. Funeral services will be Sunday at 1 pm with some additional visitation time at noon. In lieu of flowers my Dad would love for donations to be made to the New Life Orphanage in Nogales, Mexico in care of Christ Community Church. We also ask to there be no suit jackets or neck ties worn to the services. My Dad despised neck ties and we promised not to bury him in one! * ** * * ______________________________________________________________ Dxbase mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/dxbase Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
