Les was ARRL Michigan Section Manager. As Indiana SM and fellow amateur radio operator, I extend my condolences to the family and friends.

From the ARRL Letter published yesterday:

It is with deep sadness that we report that ARRL Michigan Section Manager Les Butler, W8MSP, passed away on March 8, 2023. Butler, of Gregory, began serving his first term as Section Manager in January 2022. "Les was attending Michigan's Statewide Interoperable Communications Conference and, in the evening, became ill," reported ARRL Great Lakes Division Director Dale Williams, WA8EFK, in a message sent to Division members. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to Les' wife Karen, the family, and all of his many friends in amateur radio." More information will follow as it becomes available.

I think I talked with him on the LARK 2m repeater, a couple times. He was a nice guy, either way.

Sad to lose another good ham.
