I've known Sig since the time he was working for Brown Medical back circa 1980 where I was also making some of their circuit boards. I also made some of the circuit boards used in his reflow machines when he moved out to the airport. He has always been one of my favorite people since he embodied (to me) how a gentleman always acted.
His stories about his time in Norway in WWII times were always fun to listen to (they are also related in his book.) My favorite was when the Germans were coming house to house searching for radios. He took the radio and "stored" it in the latrine. For some reason, the Germans never checked that thus saving his and his families lives. Sig gave a most entertaining talk at a SBARC meeting some years ago where he told about his ham radio times (among other things.)
I was happy to hear that Kale (his son) took over running Sakama when Sig retired a few years ago.
Sig, you will be missed!!!
