Hi Sid
I wonder if you could post the following on the TopBand Reflector, that Bob
Eldridge VE7BS is now a Silent Key. He passed away on July 15 at Lions Gate
Hospital in North Vancouver, BC after a short stay. He was 93.
His daughter had forwarded to me e-mails from TopBand that Bob Briggs VK3ZL
had died, and I read the e-mails to Bob Eldridge in his hospital bed. His
eyes teared, and he dictated a message which I sent to Jeannie.
VE7BS was a regular columnist for The Canadian Amateur Magazine (TCA), the
journal of Radio Amateurs of Canada. His column was called "QUA - A Topical
Digest" and was one of the most popular features of TCA. Even in Bob's
final weeks, he completed his column for the September issue and added a
sidebar that this was to be his final column, thanked his readers for their
input, and wished them well. The editor of TCA plans a tribute article on
Bob later in the year.
Bob VE7BS is survived by his daughter, Anne Eldridge, Granddaughter Taomi,
and two sisters in England. Friends wishing to contact the family may do so
to anne.c.eldridge@gmail.com
73
