Vernon Gill, N9QBO, SKIt is with great sadness that we have to relay
the news of the passing of longtime Mid-State Amateur Radio Club
treasurer and lifetime member Vernon Gill, N9QBO Vernon passed away on
Wednesday Night.Long known as "The Voice of Johnson County", Vern's
steady voice was once a fixture of our Sunday night nets. From his home
in Franklin, he would broadcast Amateur News Weekly, Newsline, and take
checkins from as far away as Greensburg. His voice could also be heard
on Johnson County's other VHF repeater, the KN9E 145.11 MHz system,
colloqiely known as "The 511". Vern also served as a longtime treasurer
of the club, and played an active role in deciding club policy and
direction through his involvement with the club's executive committee.
This club wouldn't be here today without his effort.Some of Vern's
other interests included the railroad (he was an avid train historian
and a retired railroad employee) and computer technology. On the ham
bands, he was a fixture on packet (including APRS), VHF/UHF, and SSTV.
He was also a routine fixture at the supper gathering every week. His
showing is tomorrow (2 November 2007) from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM at
Vandivier-Tudor Chapel, 951 North Main Street, in Franklin. There is
also a celebration of life service this Saturday at 10:30 AM at the
same location. His Obituary is featured in the Daily Journal and The
Indianapolis Star.Although Vern caught a train bound for a better
location Wednesday, he left some pretty big shoes to fill back at the
station. Have a safe journey, my friend. We'll miss you.
