KICKER: SUMMING UP A LIFE OF PUBLIC SERVICE

JIM/ANCHOR:  Most of us are ending 2021 by summing up the year. In 
Longview, Washington, however, that formality also includes many friends 
of one ham who are also summing up his life and what it meant to them. 
Here's Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB, with our final story of this week's 
newscast.

RALPH:  Randy Greeley, NU7DX, became a Silent Key on December 7th at the 
age of 68 but not before devoting two thirds of his life to the spirit 
of volunteerism that is at the heart of much of amateur radio.

Emergency response officials in Cowlitz County considered him to be the 
one to call when the county faced flooding or other extreme challenges. 
In a recent article in the Longview Daily News, many of them detailed 
the behind-the-scenes work he did as a person who was never too far away 
to give a ready response. According to the newspaper article, he jumped 
into the active life of a volunteer shortly after becoming licensed in 
1981. He and his wife became members of the Lower Columbia Amateur Radio 
Association, W7DG.

Randy's widow, Connie, KB7AYY, summed up his involvement by telling the 
newspaper [quote] "It started small and the tree ended up with many 
branches." [endquote] One of those branches led back to the Lower 
Columbia amateurs. Ralph Roggenback, N2RJR, its president, told Newsline 
in an email that Randy had been both his friend and mentor. He said 
[quote] "This community has no idea what it has lost." [endquote]

For Amateur Radio Newsline, I'm Ralph Squillace, KK6ITB.
