Another ham buddy here to pay tribute to a wonderful individual and close friend on the air.
Jordan was one of those people who genuinely cared for others and let it be known through acts of kindness and concern.
Several years ago we had a group that met on the air every evening. One of the guys was restricted to walking with a cane. Jordan made a new cane for him, and at one of our annual get togethers, each guy autographed the cane and Jordan presented it to him.
Another time, he presented each of our members with a voice DVD of one of our many evenings on the air, and made it official that our group name would be the "Hamigos" He was a very active member of our group and frequently inquired about members who were absent for more than a couple of meetings.
All of us really enjoyed hearing him come on the air. He always had some sort of story or an anecdotical twist to fire up the group and start the conversation.
One evening I made reference to my spouse as "My Honey".
Jordan grabbed ahold of that phrase, and she became known as "My Honey" to people all over the country.
He was a gentle giant of a man and will be sorely missed.
