\"aa5xh\"<\/p>\n

It is with great sadness that I report that Gil Mathis AA5XH passed away this morning around 2am (03\/25\/2009) at a local hospital.\u00a0 Gil was 76, having been born on December 25, 1932.\u00a0 He had been admitted to the hospital on February 16th after showing signs of a stroke.\u00a0 He was transferred to rehab, where he suffered another stroke and was diagnosed with Stage 4 Cancer. Cancer was found in his left lung and had spread to other parts of his body.<\/p>\n

Gil was retired from the U. S. Army and later from a career at Industrial Communications as a service technician. He was a longtime member of the San Antonio Repeater Organization, where he was loved by all. He was a currently serving Director for the San Antonio Radio Club as well. Gil was very active in public service events such as the (formerly called) BikeMS Bike to the Beach and Tour de Cure.\u00a0\u00a0 Gil earned his Extra Class ham license in February 1992 and his prior call was KI5MO.<\/p>\n

\"map_to_funeralhome\"<\/a>I knew Gil best from our Wednesday lunches at Jim’s, where he was a regular. He will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n
