RIP
I donât find my Words to explain my sadness.
We did so many QSO each other.
We change so great Spirit.
Life seems to be so unfair, but for sure âŠ
Guru see you next.

Very sad news indeed.
Although I knew he was very ill, I was still hoping he would make it. Had a QSO with him about a week ago, and somehow was always hoping to meet him on the air.
Met him for the first time in the forum and took advantage of his vast experience. Almost for sure he would always try to help.
Although I did not meet him personally, Guru you will be missed!
My sympathy is with his family and friends!

So courageous of Guru to keep on activating almost to the end and chasing when not well enough to activate on his birthday - my 15th QSO with him. His contributions to the Reflector will be much missed - a great loss to SOTA.
Guru RIP.

El pasado verano habĂamos quedado para subir juntos a EA2/HU-242 no pudo ser. Me hubiera encantado conocerlo personalmente, me quedo con las charlas telefĂłnicas, correos y muchas tardes en WhatsApp compartiendo info de caza de las cumbres USA y VE.
Descansa en paz, 73 de José.

So sad.
EA2IF was one of those callsigns which was instantly recognisable. Both on the reflector & on air. I always looked forward to hearing Guru in the pileup.
His contributions to SOTA were phenomenal. He gave so much helpful advice to anybody who asked for it.
Although we all knew that he was very ill & that the prognosis wasnât good, I still hoped that he would pull through.
The way that Guru remained active to the very end and the way that he battled his illness with courage & dignity is an inspiration to us all.
SOTA has lost one of it greatsâŠa legend who will be sadly missed.

Today I found out about it. I so believed that this courageous man would win. And now he is no longer with us. I lost a friend with whom I was on the same wave. QSOs with EA2IF will remain in my log forever. Photos and his kind words will always be in my memory. To the tragic events of recent days, another, sad, has been added.
Guru, rest in peace.

What a tough month weâve had losing several of our SOTA communityâŠIâm so sad to now hear about Guru. He was one of the few Europeans I could always count on working here from Colorado. After all the SOTA QSOs we had he started to feel more like a friend than just another operator. Guru epitomized all that is good in ham radio and SOTA. He will be clearly missed by all of us.
RIP OMâŠ

So sad to learn this news. But I am glad for Guru that he was able to remain fairly active right up to his passing. Condolences and prayers to his family.
Guru was one of the DX stations I could log successfully from our quite modest âsummitsâ here in the upper midwest USA. He sometimes would follow up with an email, which might contain info to help me log more EU DX, or simply to say hi and thanks for the QSO.
We recently have lost several of the best among us in the SOTA community. While you still can, get out on the trail and activate, or fire up the home station and chase â but be radio-active and otherwise engage life as much as you can, as none of us knows when our days will end.
73/88 and RIP Guru.

After not having been much active at the SOTA scene last months, just logged on and saw this very sad news about Guru. I see in my log my last QSO with Guru was on 20 mtrs phone on January 30, 2022.
Tnx Ignacio for sharing and my condolences to Guruâs family.
RIP Guru
