It is my sad duty to report that Ray Bilger / W3TDF became a Silent Key this morning at 2am.

The end came peacefully while surrounded by a cadre of loving family members taking turns caring for Ray over these past many weeks while under acute hospice care.

Ray's operating skills, salty humor and wit, as well as his decades of Membership in the Delaware-Lehigh Amateur Radio Club, The Quarter Century Wireless Association, The Radio Club Of America, and legendary record-breaking performances in the PAQSO Party, will be long remembered by hundreds of friends whose lives were improved for having known him.

It was my honor to be among those who learned a thing or two from "da Grump."

Tentative arrangements are scheduled for Monday evening at Naugle F/H in Quakertown from 6-8pm.

With a heavy heart,
de Pete / NL7XM
