It is with great regret that we announce the passing of longtime SEMARA member William L. Vincent, W1POW of Dartmouth. Bill passed away at home on Sunday, December 31, 2017 surrounded by his family at age 92. He was a ham radio operator since 1992; originally assigned the call sign N1LTY before getting his vanity call sign W1POW which reflected his past.
Mr. Vincent was held as a German Prisoner of War (POW) for eight months during World War II while serving in the European Theater. During that war, he attained the rank of Private First Class. Besides ham radio, Bill was also a member of the American Legion, the Rod & Gun Club and he worked for Nabisco as a delivery man until his retirement. He leaves behind his loving wife of 61 years, Gloria M. (Botelho) Vincent.
We send our sympathy to Gloria and his family for their loss. May he rest in peace.
Thank you for your service, sir.
W1POW
