Jim Muiter N6TP SK
To members of the Calaveras Amateur Radio Society,
I was just contacted by one of our club members, Pamela Muiter W6KXG, informing me that her husband, Jim N6TP, passed on late this March after a brief hospitalization.
Jim had been ill for some time and was bedridden the last time I visited him.
Pam said no services were planned and his body was donated to science at the School of Medicine at UC Davis.
Jim had been a club member for many years and would faithfully check into the Monday Night net when he was at his Murphys residence.
When our repeater antenna was functioning well you would occasionally hear Jim on the repeater from his San Mateo qth.
After lightning took out his antenna in Murphys he could not check in anymore but was content to listen as we checked into our net. As his sight and hearing deteriorated even monitoring the radio became a challenge.
Time is not on our side; another member becomes a Silent Key. All the more reason to cherish one another while we are still here and able to enjoy each other’s company.
Wishing Pam and her family comfort in this time of loss.
Sincerely,
Mark Godbout, N6IV
