Unforgettable OM Guru - VU2GUR

I can’t believe that my good friend, OM Guru – VU2GUR, is no more.

He passed away on Saturday, 8th December 2018, after a brief illness. He was 78 years old.

OM Guru - VU2GUR
It’s been over 30 years since OM Guru and I first met. We found we had a lot in common and hit it off right away.

That led to daily HF / VHF QSOs and visits to the local Sunday flea market, which he often referred to as ‘J-land’. We also exchanged that occasional shack visit to work on a homebrew project or troubleshoot a boat anchor or whatnot.

We teamed up for a few foxhunts and won a couple of them too.

OM Guru was always enthusiastic about anything related to amateur radio. He spared no efforts to help newbies come on the air. A high point for him was his gaining proficiency in satellite operation. He shared his experience with others and helped them work the satellites too.

I can never forget the good human being that OM Guru was.

May his soul rest in peace.
