It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our dear friend and fellow ham radio operator, Rudy Monsevalles, AE5ND. Rudy is now a Silent Key.

Rudy was a warm and welcoming presence in our community—always ready with a smile, a handshake, and a story. He made everyone feel at home, whether they were longtime hams or just visiting for the first time.

His voice may now be silent on the airwaves, but his memory will continue to resonate in the hearts of all who knew him. Please keep his family—especially Rebecca and Robynne—in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Rest easy, Rudy. You will be greatly missed.

73, AE5ND—Silent Key
