I wanted to let someone know that my father, Charles Griffen, passed away on March 8, 2022.  We all miss him tremendously as he was one of my favorite people on the planet.
My father was always so proud of his membership with the QCWA and I therefore wanted to make you aware of his death.  Please know how much your organization meant to my father.

Hi Everyone,

It is again that I have to inform everyone of the passing of Charles Griffen, a past President of QCWA Chapter 149. Jeff, W1JG sent me the following information.

The link to the Obit for Charles is: https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/hartfordcourant/name/charles-griffen-obituary?id=33589359

Charles has been sick for several years, but tried to stay up with our operations right up until the end. He always tried to join our ZOOM meetings whenever he could get his audio working on his computer.

The link above reflects his life completely and his "ham" connection is mentioned in the very last line just by his callsign. At least we all know what W1GYR means!

Charles, enjoy your radio days in the Great Beyond!

Rest in Peace, my friend.

73,

Gary K1MQ
