Bry, Thanks for posting this. I knew Lewis and went to his place on several occasions. He was truly a great and brilliant man. I am so sorry to hear about his leaving us.
I'll see if I can fid more info from around herein Dallas. Rick/K5IAR From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Bry Carling Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2007 5:27 AM To: amradio@mailman.qth.net Subject: [AMRadio] Nortex Electronics FYI - from Stuart Rohre in another group: I just got this email from James Musgrove, K5BZH: "....Jimmy Waters contacted me today to let me know that Lewis Cearley died this morning. He has been in failing health. To make matters worse, he fell the other day and was placed in the hospital as a result. I don't know if you might have known Lewis or not, but I bet you did, he was the owner of Nortex Electronics, that giant electronics surplus house on the south side of Fort Worth, I think it was actually in Benbrook. Lewis was great for information....." James went on to say he is not sure, but thinks the services will be Tues. Maybe some of the DFW area folks can watch their papers and let us know. Several of us were thinking just recently of wanting to visit Nortex. You can visit it on the web with great photos of how it always has been. Don't know if there is family who might continue the store. Lewis was a WW2 vet, James said. May he rest in peace. He kept the faith, and kept one of the last large surplus electronics stores like those many of us knew in the 50's when we entered ham radio, (or earlier). I hope someone will pick up the torch, and keep the store going in its present location on South side of Ft. Worth, TX. -Stuart K5KVH ______________________________________________________________ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
