Lee, Charlie passed on August 18th from a massive heart attack. We are all trying to cope with the loss. Three of the kids live in Indiana and wanted to see their dad so we will have a brief viewing and memorial today and he will be cremated. 73's Carol N5CMB

Lee, I guess that this was sort of sudden about Charlie N9RU. I have contacted Carol back and asked her to contact me if there is anything we can do from up here in New Mexico.
I use to sell at their tailgates in Deming, NM. I own Southwest Antennas & Accessories so thats how I came to know Carol and Charlie. He sure was a good man.

Date: Wed, 22 Aug 2007 12:53:44 +0000 Darryl, It doesn't surprise me that the Tailgate is a thing of the past. And, yes, Charlie became a SK on August 18th at 2:35 pm. from a massive heart attack. His middle son was with me at the hospital, so he got to say goodbye,the other kids had to come from Indiana and requested that we have a viewing for them and family members before he was cremated. The memorial service is today at 1 pm. I miss him terribly, but I'll get through this and go on, because he would have wanted that. 88's &73's. Carol, N5CMB

Carol, I was trying to find out what was up with the DARC Tailgate for next month and Rick N5XNF says that there not having one. Then Rick says that Charlie has become a SK? I am so shocked to hear this news.
