   ARLX015 Past Northern Florida Section Manager Royal V. Mackey, N4ADI   
   (SK)   
       
   Past ARRL Northern Florida Section Manager Royal V. "Roy" Mackey,   
   N4ADI, of Winter Park, Florida, died December 5. He was 96 and had   
   not been active as a radio amateur for several years. Mackey served   
   as Northern Florida Section Manager from 1986 until 1990. After two   
   terms as Section Manager, he served as a Northern Florida Assistant   
   Section Manager from 1990 until 1997.   
      
   Mackey was instrumental in launching the Volunteer Examiner program   
   in Central Florida. He was a member of the Quarter Century Wireless   
   Association (QCWA).   
      
   "Roy's passing marks another of The Greatest Generation leaving our   
   midst," said Paul Blumhardt, K5RT, a friend who got to know Mackey   
   and his late wife Carolyn when he was a teenager. "He was a very   
   kind, gentle person, I never heard a cross word from him - well,   
   maybe except at the cat a time or two. Roy touched the lives of many   
   in our Amateur Radio community, and he will be missed."   
      
   Survivors include two sons and a daughter. A memorial service is set   
   for Saturday, December 20, 11 AM, at First Presbyterian Church of   
   Maitland, 341 N Orlando Avenue, Maitland, Florida 32751. The family   
   has suggested memorial donations to the First Presbyterian Church of   
   Maitland.

   you hire an amateur.
