Claude Whitley WB5FLQ SK
Sadly I write this to inform the club and friends of Claude Whitley WB5FLQ that he has passed. Claude was a member of the Kilocycle Club from way back. He was integral in the formation of Skywarn in the DFW area and was a driving force in the Fort Worth Police Departments Code Blue program. Claude helped influence the police department in providing radios for the Code Blue patrollers and wrote a manual on the use of the radios for the program. He constantly recruited for new amateur operators and is mainly responsible for my venture into the hobby. Claude is survived by his Daughter and two wonderful grandchildren.?

Respectfully,
JR Byford K5CQB

Thanks for letting us all ?know. ? It was Claude and Harry and his wife ?Flo that got me into the Kilo Cycle club that got me climbing towers. So much fun to look down at the cars on 820 back then now I-20 as well at McCart street from their tower. Then Claude¡¯s tower was a few blocks to the north of them. ?
?Land changes, Hams get older and become fewer so another one I knew from along time ago has passed away but it was ?a pleasure to have known him.?
