Alfred A. 'Fred' Laun Temple Hills, MD QCWA # 16434 |
Fred Alfred A Laun, III, K3ZO from Temple Hills, Maryland, USA, passed away.
Fred born in 1937.
He was very active Radio Amateur active DXer and Contester.
Many remember his activity as HI8XAL, LU5HFI, HS5ABD ......
It is with immense sadness that I share with you the passing of our dear
friend Fred Laun K3ZO. Fred passed away this evening at 7:03 PM.
Fred became ill on December 15 and was transported from his home to Inova
Fairfax Hospital on the 18th. His condition worsened as time progressed.
He was battling an infection and COVID.
It was Fred's desire to not have any formal funeral or ceremony. Certainly
the club will want to recognize him and celebrate a ham radio icon at a
later date.
We knew this day would eventually come. It doesn't make it any easier.
There was just something about tuning the bands during a contest and
hearing K3ZO. You knew everything was right with the ham radio world. RIP
OM. You were one of a kind!
