Steve Appleyard G3PND - Silent key
We are very sorry to share the news that Steve Appleyard, G3PND, has passed away.
As many of you know Steve had been diagnosed with Motor Nurone Disease some years ago, but has been incredibly courageous and strong in dealing with it, even learning to use his feet to type and send morse code as the disease progressed. He was also the founder of the Norfolk Coast Amateur Radio Society near Cromer.
Earlier this year we featured him on NARC Live in a 'Getting to know...' with the story of his life in business, radio and electronics.
Our thoughts and prayers with his wife Alyson, his family and friends at this difficult time.
Update 1.10.21 - we have uploaded the NARC Live featuring Steve to our YouTube collection - see https://youtu.be/m3Pm-LIf-E0
Steves funeral is at Cromer Church on 20th October at 14.00. I wil be going to represent the club and hope that others will come too.
