Marleene, Johnova hčerka napisala je sledeče na TopBand reflectorju
===============================================
John's health has steadily deteriorated throughout the year, but in the last
few weeks he was home with us where he peacefully passed away yesterday
November 9.
Ham Radio, and especially Low Band DX-ing, were my father's lifelong passion
and always had a strong presence in our house. Sometimes literally, when
many of you paid us a visit or a group of DX'ers came over for a weekend of
contesting. At other times in the background, when my dad was working on a
project or experimenting with new equipment or antennas.
Though I don't have a call-sign, I very much feel part of the big radio
family and always will. I am very proud of everything my father has
accomplished together with you, and I am grateful to the many of you who
have given him so much joy over the years. We will miss him dearly, but we
take comfort looking back on the beautiful life he lived as a member of the
wonderful Ham Radio community.
We are planning a digital farewell ceremony on Saturday Nov 21st and will
keep you updated on practicalities.
If you would like to send us a message please mail to ON4UN.SK@gmail.com -
John's old e-mail account is not in use anymore.
In the meantime, you can pay him a visit at QRZ.com where he always kept his
resume up to date.
