Copied from WAARCI’s Facebook Page.  RIP WE0G

It is with great sadness that I need to report the passing of a well known ham in this area and beyond,
Keith (Harold) Haye, WE0G has become a silent key.

Keith was a life member of the club and was active until he became too ill to do so. Any time we had an event, a meeting, a net, a special event, Keith could be counted on to be involved. He especially loved contesting and working with new hams, and he had a knack for getting people to talk to him on the air.

More details will come later. Keith had been sick for some time and had taken a couple of bad falls, but today we have heard that he lost his fight. I will miss hearing his voice on our repeater and all of his stories. Keith is going to be greatly missed by everyone who knew him.
