Bob Holdford, KF4NDH (SK)

We have lost an amazing man, husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, Delta Club member and ham radio operator.
Bob became a Silent Key on 06/11/13 after a brief illness. We will miss him dearly as he was active in many different aspects of the club, including serving on the board of directors several years ago.
Bob was always very active in public service events, either by helping with amateur communications or by participating in the event.

Please keep his wife, Juanita and all of his children, grandchildren and other family members in your thoughts and prayers as they cope with Bob's passing.

Funeral details as we know for now are
Visitation Thursday evening from 5-8 pm
Family Funeral Care
4925 Summer Ave - Memphis

Funeral - Friday Morning at 11 am
Ellendale United Methodist Church
7217 Centralia Rd. Ellendale, TN
