> ZC4LI, Steve Hodgson, also known as 5B4AHA, C4C, G0LII, G6G and
> ZD8LII, QRV until a few weeks ago, has become a Silent Key, passing
> on Saturday afternoon, August 31.  In April, W3UR received an email
> from Steve describing his first bout with cancer, in 2011, with 47cm
> of intestines removed, but it was too late; the cancer had already
> migrated to his liver.  Steve was well prepared for parting, with a
> plot in the Military Cemetery in Cyprus “booked.”  He told Bernie, “I
> have been living with this for over three years now, so I do tend to
> get a bit blase.  It does not worry me at all, as long [as] it is
> quick and painless.  I could walk off this mortal coil tomorrow.  It
> is the ones who are left behind who have all of the sorrow.  I will
> be well out of it.”  Steve was 69.  5B4AIY, Adrian, says Steve was
> “an enthusiastic contest operator and had won many awards.  I’m sure
> his call will be sorely missed.”  A friend has gone; yet those of us
> reading this remain a little longer.
