It is with sadness that we report the passing of Bob Griggs, N4HCZ, on Wednesday, January 28, 2026.

Bob was an exceptional CW operator and a familiar presence at LARC Field Day operations. He often helped kick off Field Day by ensuring LARC earned its solar power bonus points, and many will remember seeing him operating from the front porch of the Kathleen Historical Society facility when we operated there. See above.

Before his passing, Bob generously donated his entire ham shack to the club to help support LARC financially. This donation includes not only his radios, but also his test equipment. Members interested in purchasing any of this equipment may contact Geoff, WA4MMO, or Buddy, WB4OMG.

Burial will take place at Oak Hill Cemetery on Wednesday, February 4th at 2:00 p.m.

This will be a burial only; no service is planned.
