His call was WB4JVZ.S Alfred N. "Neb" Brown, W3UQN, SK Alfred N. Brown, W3UQN, passed away last week at Halifax Hospital. Mr. Alfred Brown, W3UQN, who preferred being called "Neb" was one of the oldest members of DBARA. He became a member in the early 70s. "Neb" was one of our very active ham's and enjoyed coming to club meetings. He always had a smile and loved meeting new folks in the club and could tell some really great stories about his life. Like how he graduated from Kings Point Maritime Academy in New York. The proud processor of an Engineer's degree and a Maritime rating for steam powered ships. But decided ship's were not going to be his cup of tea and went to work for Baldwin Lima Hamilton to build large diesel engines. He always called Carolyn Truesdale the night before club meetings to see if he could hitch a ride with Carolyn and John LoCicero to the next meeting night. He was a avid sailboat sailor who had sailed around the world on his sail boat with his wife. They lived aboard their sali boat up till a few years ago when they sold the boat and moved to Bishop's Glen Assisted Living facility with his wife. He had also owned a couple of airplanes and he continued to fly up until the time they had to move into the assisted living home. Alfred "Neb" Brown will be missed by everyone that associated with him as a member of the DBARA. submitted by John LoCicero, K4TUG on 13 March 2008 Robert "Cliff" Fraser, KE4HIY, is known throughout the ham radio community as "Mr. Coffee and Doughnuts Man." Became a Silent Key today, 7 February 2008 Cliff became a silent key at 1230 hours today after having fought a tremendous battle with Cancer and the effects of the chemotherapy and radiation treatments. While i never seemed to find a way to visit him as often as others I tried real hard to keep close tabs on his wellbeing and efforts to overcome the treatments and cause were affecting overall. 02.07.2008 Updated: Monday, August 18, 2008 |
