Title: W1RFP Blanchard Bunny Pratt has passed. Post by: Ka1ole on November 24, 2019, 07:41:38 PM Ka1ole, Jeff here in central VT.
W1RFP Bunny Pratt passed away yesterday in Hanover, NH. He was 93 years old. I first met Bunny at an early NEDA (remember that?) Packet radio meeting in Newport, NH. His short obit was in the Valley News, Local paper here in the Upper Valley today. I know AL W1VTP was mentioning that he had not heard Bunny on as of late. 73 Bunny.

Post by: KD1SH on November 28, 2019, 09:43:45 AM Never met Bunny, or even spoke with him directly, but used to hear him check in on the Lonely Guys Net quite often, the last time being October 5th. Could tell by his voice that he was getting frail, but at the same time his voice still retained that bright enthusiasm for the hobby. 73, Bunny, and congratulations on a life well lived.

He was a loyal supporter of the Vermont Net (I'm net mgr of that). He had for many years two NCS slots on VTN. He had suffered a couple of medical events where we almost lost him. The Vermont Valley News had a short reference to his passing and promised an obit later but it never appeared. He had a pooch "Jack" who is looking for a new forever home if anyone interested.
Bunny has QSY'd to a better place watching our every move so we'd better behave Later, Bunny PS: Here's the closest thing to an Obit... for Bunny that appeared in the Valley News Title: Re: W1RFP Blanchard Bunny Pratt has passed. Post by: WBear2GCR on December 12, 2019, 09:30:00 PM In recent months I worked Bunny in QSO on 3885 quite a few times. I'm sorry to say that I do not recall his voice from my time on AM in years past. He was certainly a "Class A" operator whenever I heard him on the air.
