I just wanted to pass along that Dave Laskowski N8TMN has passed away. Dave had a stroke in April and was on the path to recovery, when Sunday night complications developed and Linda his wife rushed him back to North Kansas City Hospital. By Monday evening Dave had left us.

Dave had been an instrumental part of the Northland ARES, was our Chief Radio Officer for our Clay County Mobile Command and was key in his leadership with the NKC CERT team and will missed by all.
