Although he wasn't on this list, some of you  knew Bill, WB2FLW. He checked in once or twice to the Friday night net via Echolink. He became a silent key yesterday. I will deeply miss his friendship and expertise.

73, Jim, KY2D

Writing to let people know that a long time friend and contributor Bill Acker wb2flw passed away last evening.

Bill was responsible for putting our first Redhat and fedora speakup enabled distributions together. In more recent years he maintained the server where we shared dns services and provided mail and mail backup for many members of the community.

He was an avid ham and phone freak and maintained a freeswitch which many people using voip still use.

I am going to miss him very much. I'm sure others here will as well. He died of complications to his prostate cancer which he's been fighting for the past couple years.

73s Bill. It's been a good journey.

   Kirk
