Ohio ASM John
Haugns, W8STX, of Cincinnati, is Silent Key |
| |
It is with great
sadness that I must report to all of you that Ohio Assistant Section
Manager and former Section Manager, John Haungs, W8STX, died Saturday
afternoon of heart problems. He was 87. All of amateur radio's community
wishes to extend condolences to his wife, Betty, and the entire Haungs
family. A memorial service is Friday, May 16.
John gave more than four decades of his life to the service of amateur
radio. He was long time financial officer (more than three decades) of
at least six ham radio organizations in the Cincinnati area. For that
and numerous other services to the hobby, John was named a recipient of
the Allen Severson AB8P Memorial award in 2005.
He served the Ohio Section as assistant Section Manager from 1982-1988
and again from 1990 until the present. He was elected Section Manager
from 1988 to 1990.
There will be a memorial service for John Haungs, W8STX, (SK) at 11 a.m.
Friday, May 16, at the Christ Church of Glendale. He will be cremated.
A special Amateur Radio Memorial Service for John Haungs, W8STX, (SK) has
been scheduled for Tuesday, June 17, 7 p.m. at The Christ Church of
Glendale. The family, community leaders of Evendale and members of the
Christ Church are welcomed as well. The Rev. Richard Foote, of Christ
Church, will officiate. The special Memorial Service is scheduled
due to the conflict of the May 16 Memorial Service and the Dayton
Hamvention. Many of John's friends and associates have year long
commitments to Hamvention this Friday and will be unable to attend.
