Following the funeral of our late friend and group owner for his wonderful creation APRSISCE32, As far as I am aware and I have not been informed otherwise everything went as planned.
Although Lynn's Son Paul was in touch almost up to the last moment, cummunications were brief.?
Lynn Deffenbaughs aprsisce program got a good work out, As wx conditions were favorable for a fleet of space shuttle's I had hoped to have all five in missing man formation as I did for Roger Barker (G4IDE SK) author of UIView32.
Unfortunately, and this is a memory issue for me, I had not thought to practice in advance because I always found it easy to do, I left this until I thought the appropriate moment, as I hit the launch button a shooting star crossed the map at his late fathers place of rest.
Bingo! lift off was accomplished, My screw up was using a button in Icons that displays multiple Icons saving lots of hard work,(But unfamiliar with how it actually worked!) anyone who saw this on their map was done with the kind permission of Paul Deffenbaugh KJ4DXK.
?
I have asked Paul privately to take the time to grieve and not show up for work on this group, from personal experience ...time is a great healer!
I for one have been hit hard and I am sure I am far from being alone at this time, I am not a very religeous chap but I do understand the comfort a service brings to one and all, and I confess that at the time the Repose commenced the cloud of doom in my head started to lift.
?
I as I have said before make no apology for these lengthy posts, but from today they will cease.
Below is a screen grab taken from my view of the cemetery and church where Lynn Deffenbaugh was laid to rest.
RIP my long time friend, I hope he uses his IS manual that KJ4DXK assures me he is already reading on his journey.

RIP Lynn Deffenbaugh KJ4ERJ SK , May you live long in our memories until we meet again!
If I do I want back pay with a 2% increase!.....Farewell Sir!
