[SEDXC] Nelson (Sandy) Donahue

[Neil Foster]

A number of folks asked what happened to Sandy, I for one did not 
know he was ill. At Dayton I chatted with Hope at the ARRL booth and 
found out essentially the same information that Susan Swiderski sent to me:

Hi Susan,
I was shocked to hear about Nelson (Sandy) What happened to him?

Hi, Neil.

We didn't have an autopsy done, but our best guess is that it was a 
heart attack. He had congestive heart disease for quite a few years, 
and a number of other complications from the diabetes. It's 
comforting to know that he was in good spirits and cracking his usual 
jokes in the days before, and died in his sleep. My hopes are that he 
didn't suffer.

Take care.

73, Susan
