Thanks for that information, I knew Bruce very well.  We occasionally kept in touch after he moved to NH but I hadn’t heard of is passing.

 

He was a good guy.  The information is much appreciated, as sad as it is….

See below in the K1USN newsletter about the passing of Bruce Beaman K1HTN. Bruce was a VERY longtime member of the Whitman and Massasoit clubs going back to the 60s until he moved up to Ossipee NH.

I've been informed of the passing of two MORE of our ham friends;  one longtime K1USN member, Bruce Beaman - K1HTN as well as Allan Pratt - WA1NXY. 

 

It is always sad to learn of the passing of one of our friends and it should give us pause to reflect on enjoyable moments spent in their presence.

 

RIP

Bruce was a member of the K1USN Radio Club and participated in several of our initial Museum Ships weekend events onboard the USS Salem and also was a dedicated CW operator.
