[RTTY] NP3D

[Fred Dennin]

I was just advised that in the Daily DX Bulletin today, it was announced that Andrei, NP3D passed away unexpectedly.  Here is the excerpt:

> NP3D/EW1AR (ex UC2AFZ, RC2AR, AA3BG, NC2N), Andrei Stchislenok, passed 
> away unexpectedly on Monday November 4th. He was 55. Andy was a very 
> kind hearted person and operated from many locations around the world.

I am truly saddened to hear this news.  Andrei was a friend that operated here at my station and he and I went to Costa Rica to operate in 2009 for a week.  Dayton was also spiced up by Andrei’s presence as he was the life of the party.  Just look at his photo on QRZ.COM to see how light hearted he was.  
Andrei loved amateur radio,  loved all modes and loved the people.   He was a very enthusiastic operator and operated from several countries such as Estonia, Nicaragua Costa Rica, to just name a few.  He made an impression on people, generally a smile,  regardless where he was.  Andrei was thoughtful and caring, picking up the phone from time to time to just check in and make sure I was doing ok.  Every time we were together, he never failed to talk to me about his daughter who he loved more than anything.

I will always fondly remember Andrei and will miss him very much.

May God rest your soul Andrei.
