Denver was a retired STF and SLAF officer who was well-respected in both his professional and amateur radio circles. He was a passionate ham radio operator and made significant contributions to the field, particularly in Sri Lanka.
He was an active member of the amateur radio community, particularly on Hamsphere, in his last years. He will be remembered fondly by his fellow Hamsphere operators and the wider amateur radio community
He will be greatly missed by his family, friends, and the amateur radio community. May he rest in peace.
Rest in Peace, Denver, many happy memories of our conversations in and about Amateur Radio, always a fine man and great friend you will be missed. Well done good and faithful friend.
Your Duty Done, you are at peace.
At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.
It is with great sadness that I learn of Denver’s passing.
What good memories on Hamsphere with you.
I can still hear your calls echoing.
Rest in peace my friend.
I will never forget you.
