Jon Turner, AC1EV

[Anita Kemmerer]

On March 14th, the club lost an active member and a friend, Jon Turner, AC1EV.  Here is a message from his wife, Stephanie.

It’s with much sadness I want to inform the club of Jon’s passing.  Jon passed away quietly in his sleep yesterday (3/14).  Jon contracted pneumonia at the end of February and was hospitalized.    He put up a strong fight but in the end his body gave out.  For those interested services will be held on March 20^th from 10-12 at the Tewksbury Funeral Home.

Jon has been an enthusiastic and active member of the club since he received his Extra Class license through our club license class.  Jon served as Secretary and then President of the Nashua Area Radio Club and was very active with Field Day, HamXposition, Ham Bootcamp, and was a frequent contributor to our website.

Here are links to Jon’s Member Spotlight and a few of the other articles that he has authored on our website.

• AC1EV’s Ham Radio Adventure
• Getting Ready for Summer Field Day
• Choosing and Installing a Wire Beam Antenna
• Introduction to HFTA

Jon was a good friend to Fred and me and he will be missed.

73,

Anita, AB1QB

I’m so sad to hear of Jon’s passing.  As a relatively new ham, Jon was a welcoming and encouraging presence to me in the club, both in-person at Field Day and on-the-air.  I will really miss him.

My deepest sympathies to Stephanie and family.

Sincerely,
Mike W1TKO

I’m absolutely heartbroken to hear about Jon. He was such a light—always so positive and upbeat, even when cancer tried to dim his spirit. I’ll never forget how he kept that incredible attitude no matter what. Even after I moved away, staying in touch with him was a gift; every conversation reminded me of his strength and joy. I’m going to miss him very much. Thinking of everyone who loved him right now—it’s a huge loss.
