Ted A. Ross Hilo, HI QCWA # 28740 Chapter 194 |
Ted was 88 years old when he passed away on March 17, 2012 at home.
He was born in Point Richmond, California. He was a retired central communications operator for Pacific Telephone. He was a member of Glad Tidings Church, Sonar Men of America, Telephone Pioneers and the Big Island Amateur Radio Club. He was a veteran of the U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Navy during World War 2 while serving on the USS Muskogee in the battle of Leyte Gulf.
He is survived by his wife Lorrayne of Hilo, sons Dennis of Lakeview, Oregon and Terrance of Simi Valley, California, five grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews.
Ted was a member of BIARC since 1995 as far as I could tell from our records. He preferred to operate CW but did get on the 2M net for many years always giving the weather from downtown Hilo.
He will be missed by the ham radio community. AH6GD is now a Silent Key. - Barbara NH7FY
