Nancy Stitt -- KØNNC: Silent Key
We are saddened by the news that Nancy – KØNNC passed away suddenly, on December 17th, 2018, from heart failure. Nancy, along with her husband Jim – KAØNZZ, were active in starting up the club, and worked very hard at keeping it going throughout the years, until they relocated to Arizona. We are grateful to Nancy for all of her contributions of time and effort towards making the club, and the TechFest, a success.
The Celebration of Life for Nancy will be held in Sun City AZ. Please contact Craig Wilson [rad2bee (at) gmail.com] if you wish to get in touch with Jim, and don't have his contact information.
Jim has asked that anyone wishing to commemorate Nancy's life make a donation to the American Heart Association.
