On Thursday evening, February 14, 2019, Bob Perry, K6GDI, became a SK (Silent Key) from complications to Congestive Heart Failure. Bob was a patient at Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Gatos when he passed.  Bob was with his family members when he peacefully slipped away.  Bob was a long time member of the FPRA and was our Technical Committee manager.  Bob was very involved with the construction and servicing of our repeaters on Fremont Peak where he worked for many years as the Transmitter Engineer for KSBW TV.  Bob will be greatly missed.
