David Freiberger K5OLE on top of the American Red Cross Bldg working on one of the antennas
Our friend, mentor and leader, David Freiberger K5OLE is gone. He passed away this afternoon after a very long battle, first with cancer, then with complications from the treatment of it.
J C Smith, N5RXS, will update us with the funeral arrangements when he can.
I’m attaching a photo of my friend, doing what he loved.
Sadly,

Additional info will be posted here as provided. We encourage other hams who knew David, to post comments on this article to share your thoughts, memories, etc.
David was recently the Bexar County EC (Emergency Coordinator), stepping down only due to his health issues, and was a former president of the San Antonio Radio Club. He was active in the STXDXCC Club as well. His cheerful attitude helped a lot of hams do their jobs better.
