ERSians,
I just learned that one of my best elmers for everything motorola has passed away. Marion Blanton KC5DPC of Slidell, Tx. lost his incredible battle with esophagus cancer. He was a huge supporter of the Denton club with his vast Motorola experience and knowledge. On a personal level, he helped the N5ERS club with our 900mhz repeater and radio programming. He was like Santa Claus unless you pissed him off then he was like a honey badger. He served our country proudly as a Marine and was a true patriot.
I will really miss him.
I really hate the year 2020 so far. It has brought nothing but pain, suffering and heartbreak.
Please keep Marion in your thoughts and prayers.
