Founding Member Paul Lanzoni WA3WPR, Silent Key

With deep sadness, we report the passing of Paul Lanzoni WA3WPR, 83, of Brockway on Friday, June 22. Paul was an active member of the Quad-County ARC in the 1970s and ’80s. He was a fixture at Field Day, and helped with the construction of the 147.39 repeater building and tower.

He was a master mould-maker at Brockway Glass, and many of the Avon collectible cologne bottles—especially cars— were his handiwork. He regularly attended Quad-County meetings, and helped shape the club in its early days by providing support and encouragement to hams old and new.

Living up to his nickname of “Meatball,” Paul often cooked delicious Italian treats to share with the club for Field Day, club picnics and many other activities.

Friends will be received from 7-9 Friday at the Carlson-Shugarts Funeral Home in Brockway.
