I had a long hiatus from 1991 to 2004. When I returned to the ham scene, I was saddened to learn of the passing of the Colvins. I yearn to win the lottery so my wife and I can do essentially what Lloyd and Iris did - while we're still young enough to do it!
Bought Jim Cain's book about YASME and Lloyd and Iris at Dayton this year. Boring at times, but fascinating at others.

Another example: The YASME Foundation answers QSL Requests for Lloyd Colvin and his XYL (Both SK) since they sponsored many of their DXpeditions. I recently got them to send me a card for a QSO in 1985.

There have been many cases where a 3rd party has been able to take over qsl
duties for a deceased ham.
I don't know if there is an 'official procedure', for such a continuation.
But I have seen notices that a xyl or family member has turned over the logs
to a friend or club member of the deceased.
I and other QSL Manager Assoc. members took over possesion and qsl duties
when one of the big qsl managers passed a few year back.

Thanks Art and Dave,
I had not thought to also mark the electronic confirmations as 'X'.
That will
be easily done and solves the problem. I have several such
QSO's; does
anyone
know whether others can QSL for an SK ham given that they have a log
showing
the QSO (I have in mind specifically 3A2GL, now SK) just as if they were
a
QSL manager?
Obviously I should have kept more up-to-date with my QSLs!

I believe the current implementation to be correct: if you are so
certain
that a QSL will never be confirmed that you don't
want it counted as
"worked" in your DXCC award progress, then set both "QSL Rcvd" and
"LotW
QSL Rcvd" to 'X' as Art suggests below; if you no longer wanted
it
counted towards your WAZ award progress, then also set "eQSL QSL Rcvd"
to
'X'.
If you've written off a QSO in this way, I don't see the point of
highlighting its existence in award progress displays and reports.
