I received the terrible news this morning from Larry’s wife that he passed away last week.
Larry was an icon in the Montreal and Quebec amateur radio scene. He had many friends in the local radio community. He passionately promoted the hobby and the WIARC club. He served as WIARC president eight times in the last 40 years. I first met him 44 years ago and saw him for the last time at lunch two weeks ago during our executive meeting.
He will be greatly missed. We send our deepest condolences to his family, friends and everyone that knew him. His presence will not be forgotten.
