Edgar Heinen VE3TQU, SK

From John Koren VA3JK:

It is with the deepest regret, that I inform the Scarborough Amateur Radio Club, that one of your members, VE3TQU, Edgar Heinen has passed away suddenly on February 10.2022. I helped Edgar get his amateur radio licence at CBC, he had a lifelong passion for radio, especially short wave listening and local amateur radio activity on 2m and 70 cm. He passed away without any kin, and I do not know what his final wishes were. May he rest in Eternal Peace with God.

We are sad to report that Amy Bautista has died. As Nick VE3EBC mentioned at the June meeting, Amy was killed in a road accident while visiting family in the Philippines. Our condolences to her family and friends.

Amy was a member of SARC between 2008 and 2011. Although she ultimately decided not to become a licensed ham radio operator, she was an active participant in Field Day and other club events. Here's a picture from the 2009 Field Day at Bruce's Mill Conservation Area.
