According to the website for the San Fernando Valley Amateur Radio Club, https://w6sd.com/ , Richard Donner WA6KYR, age 79, passed away on July 12, 2024. I had worked Richard dozens of times, both as an activator and chaser, mostly on CW. I had also met Richard on several occasions. He is listed as the #8 chaser in the W6 Association with 28,081 points.
He will be missed on the airwaves from Southern California.

That is sad to hear Scott. Also had quite a few QSOs with Richard in my activator log, last one just in Dec. He will be missed.

Very sorry to hear about Richard. I didn’t know Richard but I had many SOTA QSOs with him.
Bad news. I contacted Richard in 2021.
May he rest in peace.
Condolences to family.
