I received this email today from Spud's wife. 

Hi DAVE,

Spud passed away this evening. HE went to Emerg this morning, they did an x-ray his left lung was full of pneumonia and the bacteria was going through his body.

He will be missed.

This is sad news for me as well. Spud helped me to document Canadian naval radio since the mid 1990s. I’m so happy that he was able to  publish those  three books  of his before he passed away.

 

RIP Spud.

At the CHRS Museum we have Spud's books and I had the privilege of knowing him albeit at a distance.

For SPUD:

Crossing the Bar

BY ALFRED, LORD TENNYSON

Sunset and evening star,
      And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
      When I put out to sea,
   But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
      Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
      Turns again home.
   Twilight and evening bell,
      And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
      When I embark;
   For tho’ from out our bourne of Time and Place
      The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
      When I have crost the bar.

RIP Spud.
