This is a little off topic, but I wanted to just let you guys know. I woke up this morning to a voice mail and I called the guy back and it was a friend of David Zimmerman who if you're on this site in our area you may have known him.
He passed away last night from cancer and the weird thing was I been thinking about him after just getting this SDS 200.I did not know him very well, but from the little time I did know him, he was a very good guy to me, I was trying to by my first scanner I haven't used one in over 20 years and was about to be ripped off and lied to by a guy on craigs list so before I bought the scanner I made a post on here. The next day David jumped in and on the site and let me know hey maybe I don't want this type of scanner for the Cleveland area.So I had to make an account just to message him,5 days later I contacted him and he was honest and legit and told me the good and bad about the Cleveland system and suggested that I buy a g 4 pager if I wanted to be sure I got the system in and to be honest all I did want was the Cleveland police so I took his advice and ordered it.
I knew nothing about these things and asked him if he could help me, which he did.He programed me a card that must have taken 15 hours or more of his time to my liking and came over to my house and spent a few hours showing me how to work the pager.
I learned fast and started talking to him and became a friend of his.Because of him helping me and showing me how enjoyable this hobby is I went and bought a SDS 200 last week and been thinking the whole time how much he would enjoy to come over and see it.
I haven't called him because I knew his mother was sick and he been having a hard time and did not seem to have any extra freetime.It just shocked me how fast your new friend can be gone.So to anyone who knows him and wonders why he has not been around on the site.I just found out a few hours ago and his friend told me, hey let the guys know about radio reference what happened. And I just want to say thank you to David for being an awesome guy and helping me get into this hobby that will last me a lifetime.
