[Nodxa] N8CX Silent Key

[Glenn Williams]

Hello,

I received a 9 p.m. call from Barbara Moriarty that Al, N8CX, passed 
away around 5 p.m. today. He was in hospice at O'Neill Healthcare Bay 
Village for the last week or so.  Look for more information if any 
obituaries are published.

I first met Al around the first week of March, 1972, when I returned to 
civilian employment after a 2.5 year stint in the Army. Although I knew 
of the existence of West Park Radiops from listings in one of the 
standard amateur radio magazines, it was Al who learned from somewhere 
of the actual club meeting location and times. So due to his suggestion 
we both went to the same meeting together on the first Friday in 
November 1977.  Al served as West Park Radiops club president and 
sometimes the Field Day chairman and perhaps I have forgotten if he ever 
held other officer positions.  For some time he has been the license 
trustee of the NOARS repeater call sign K8KRG (and their Field Day 
chairman?).  He was until recently a member and past secretary of the 
Northern Ohio DX Association. He also was active in the Hamfest 
Association of Cleveland a few years ago.

--73, Glenn, AF8C
