> Dear Jim and Bob:  I wanted to let you know that my dad, W2JGR, passed 
> away
> peacefully earlier today, after a week-long hospital stay.  He valiantly
> tried to fight off a bad case of pneumonia, but it finally got the better
> of him.  We feel lucky that his passing was swift and gentle.  I wanted to
> be sure to let you know, since you and other members of the TCDXA have 
> been
> such a supportive part of his life these past several years.
>
> We are planning a memorial service at the Kenwood on Friday afternoon,
> January 13th (exact time still to be determined). Several family members
> will be speaking, but I wondered whether you think anyone from the TCDXA
> might have the time and inclination to say a few words about Jules's ham
> radio 'hobby,' since it was such a very important part of his life.
> Absolutely no obligation, of course, but thought I'd ask, just in case
> either of you might be inclined, or you know someone else who might be.  I
> also want to extend a warm invitation to other members of the TCDXA to
> attend the service, and I'll let you know when we have an exact time.
