Garland AE4VT SK

From Hal, K3ATO and Mike, WB3EQW

It is with great sadness that we have to report that Garland (AE4VT) died on Tuesday morning, January 6. He had been getting weaker over the past month, and then within two days weakened rapidly. He died peacefully at about 11:40 in the morning.

Here is a link to his obituary in the Louisville Courier Journal:

The Roosters meant a lot to him. Garland really enjoyed hearing the recordings of the messages everyone sent him on Garland day last year. We know that the one thing he missed the most in the nursing home was his radio. One of his favorite caretakers knows code, and frequently he and Garland would communicate by talking in dits and dahs. It puzzled many of the people who heard them, but they both enjoyed it.

Regards,

Hal K3ATO, and Mike WB3EQW
