This guy every day! 38 low!!!

Well I am pretty sure it's true. He passed in his sleep from a brain aneurysm. Good dude that made me laugh mant times with his 35 dollar Obama radio 65 miles east of Los Angeles. Man he was a character. But not in a bad way!! Make you laugh and just have fun!! Good dude. R.I.P.
4444 Art.
I hope it's not true. I liked 4444. Never had a bad QSO with him. He was always a class act. Maybe someone in the 60 mile east of LA area can confirm this and post something. An article or something.

I read it on another forum and the guy seemed to be telling the truth as far as I can tell as it wasn't about anything other than that. Heard some people calling for him yesterday, but no replies. He was a good dude and was very well known. I hope it's not true, but I am pretty sure it is.
 
I just found Art's obituary online so it is true this time of his passing. Very sad day to lose 4444. It's not very hard to find with Google and a few key words. You can sign his guestbook if you like.
 
Yes, hear the same elsewhere. Sad indeed as I will miss the beacon of the west coast for SSB!! When he was booming in here around FL, I knew the west coast was about to get going! Good guy that will be missed. Made me laugh several times!! Not in a bad way either. Anyway.
R.I.P. Art, ole' 4444, 65
Miles east of Los Angeles, on his $35 Obama radio.

Hey Al567 Could you give me a link, or at least those key words you used? It would be nice to know a little about the guy.

The last time I heard 4444 on the radio he was singing Santa Claus is coming to town:) . I never did ask him what his $35 Obama radio was. Always had a good QSO with him when I could get to him, he always had a lot of operators trying to get to him. He will be missed by many I'm sure.

Thanks Al and thank you for the link Road Squawker. Sounds like he was quite a character on and off the radio.
 
To be perfectly honest I wasn't a fan of 44-44, but may he R.I.P. I hope God has a plan soon for the Number 3 Repeater up in "Shangri-La." Also maybe he can Rapture the Hillbilly Preacher 777 in Arkansas, arrange W8XLR with his tone generator to be hit by a bus, make Blue Waffle take his PTSD meds, and find a women who willing to date Todd 5140 so he can get laid? Did I miss anybody?

Just to clear this up Ivan 41 is not a part of the World Radio Club. He may say that he is however his membership from the World Radio Club was revoked by WR2811/NB2811 Eli back on 01/19/2013
