Losing a friend is always hard. And it is more so when it is from an accident. Don has been a stalwart with QCWA and the DX community for so long, it seemed like he would always just be there. I have seen Don and Hope at Dayton, Pigeon Forge, and South Florida QCWA meetings, Field Days and Hamfests all around the state. There are few Hams that have dedicated so much of their life and time to our hobby. I am glad that Jeff Beals, Marty Falk and I got to visit with Don and Hope while he was in rehabilitation recently. The current pandemic limited our ability to visit again. I know that for many years to come I will be subconsciously looking for Don and Hope as we all gather again for regular meetings. Let's all say a prayer for Hope and her ability to carry on without Don by her side.

It is with much sadness that I must report the passing of our

good friend and Chapter 12 President, Don Search, W3AZD.

Don and his XYL Hope were fixtures at our Chapter lunches

and they will be missed at our meetings.

?

When arrangements are known, they will be posted on our

various amateur radio media.

47, Jeff
