>>>>>>>> A RESPECTFUL TRIBUTE AND SALUTE TO - W9FAM - VERN - CFO # 072 - WHO IS NOW A SILENT KEY - GOD REST HIS SOUL <<<<<<<

[CARMEN DROGO]

Dear CFO friends,

Enclosed is a copy of 

an email I received today

from David Bunte - K9FN

Carmen -

I just got off the phone with Russ Kaspar. He called to tell me that Vern passed away today (JAN. 5, 2018)  in the early morning hours. He would have turned 96 on the 15th of this month.

Vern was a very close friend for more than 45 years, and I don't know anyone who loved our great hobby more than he did. He had been in an assisted living facility for a few months, and I visited with him just a matter of days ago.

There is no way I can notify the hundreds and thousands of friends he had around the world, but knew that you would want the news.

God bless you my friend, and the memory of our friend Vern.

73 de Dave - K9FN

RESPECTFULLY POSTED

Vern W9FAM was a class act.  How many times did I hear his big clear signal and enjoy his wit and wisdom.

73 old friend, you will be missed.
