<p>Sent to our secretary was the following</p> <p></p> <p>&gt; Hi Arthur: <br/>&gt; <br/>&gt; I just want to inform you, and by extension, the rest of the amateur <br/>&gt; radio club of the passing away of my father, Paul Campbell, a long-time <br/>&gt; member of your club. For those interested, the funeral will be held <br/>&gt; Thursday, October 11 at 11 a.m. at the Kelly Funeral Home, 1255 Walkley <br/>&gt; Road. If you could pass on this information, it would be most appreciated! <br/>&gt;</p>

<p>Long time members of the OARC will remember Ernie Brown,  who was an active member of the club years ago, before moving back out west to be with family. His club talks about his wartime service both on merchant ships and as a RDF operator in Ottawa were greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Our heart felt condolences to the family.</p> <p><a href="https://www.arbormemorial.ca/oneill/obituaries/orval-ernie-ernest-brown/24441" title="Obituary for Ernie Brown, VA3OEB">https://www.arbormemorial.ca/oneill/obituaries/orval-ernie-ernest-brown/24441</a></p>
