It is with Great sadness I have to report Rons passing. He was a great friend, scanner enthusiast, and posted many messages to this forum, mostly in the TN listings under the name ronmica. He also operated on the local 2 meter repeter nets. His callsign was N4VWN. He had been fighting lung illness for a long time. Attached was the notice from the local paper.

Ronald is survived by his daughter, Lauren Hughes of Memphis; mother, Marie Hughes of Memphis; sister, Patricia Simpson of Sevierville, TN; brother, Danny Hughes of Memphis. Visitation will be held from 1 p.m. until service time at 2:30 p.m., Wednesday, May 23 at Memphis Funeral Home Poplar Chapel with the interment to follow in Memorial Park Cemetery-Memphis.
