How blessed all of us, in the ham community, have been knowing W6EW (Dr Denis Franklin) His kindness and generosity has been bar- none. He was always willing to help out and “get involved”. He helped out by being a “Cuckoo Net Host”, when needed, and had a good time being net control. His stories never got old. The knowledge he had about a lot of things kept us wanting more stories. There were the stories when he was a flight physician or when he was in the service when Elvis was drafted. How “easy” Elvis had it, and how he lived off somewhere other than the barracks. That was one of my favorite stories. He started to really enjoys being at Vista Del Monte,being a “people person”, many of the residents liked Denis and have nothing but kind words for him. His love for music and playing the piano was something he looked forward to. He will be missed by us, in the ham community, we will miss him on Saturday mornings at the Red Cross. It was great to see him there. He ventured out to “Taco Tuesdays” and other special events. Go in peace Doc, we will always remember how kind you were and what a treasure we had. Religion was something we never talked about but I am sure the way he lived was a “golden rule”. Janet, Lisa, Scott and Bruce I’m sure you have stories you will treasure always also. God bless you and your families, it has been great meeting all of you and having “Doc” in our lives.
