"W4SYZ,...clear and QRT!"

Sacred to the memory of our friend, Charles Frank Ector, Jr.

Charlie served honorably as a radio electrician in the US Air Forces, Pacific Theater, during WWII. He was active in several community affairs when not busy caring for his family, working as a postman, a spokesman, running his chicken and egg projects and tending his fruit and garden plots. His many, many friends remember his survivor attitude and his outreach efforts via his amateur radio station, W4SYZ. He was commended by the Red Cross and others personally for his help in disaster relief when keeping soldiers and families in touch with each other via messages relayed by his life-long hobby, his radio station.
His hundreds of QSL cards and his other collections were among his most valued possessions. He also loved to happily share at church fund-raisers, with his community, party, family and friends his wonderful southern talent & ability to cook.

He was preceded in death by a son, Charles, III, his loving wife [2n], Charity Helena, and his parents, Charles, Sr. and Carolyn Ector. Charlie is survived by his six children, two grandchildren, many nieces and nephews and a host of loving friends, who will miss him greatly.
