Rodel D. Kalalang, 4I1BLH (SK)

Rodel 4I1BLH joined our Creator on December 8, 2020 at 10:40 PM (local time).

At the time of his passing, Rodel was the the Club Vice President and co-manager of the Technical Committee. 

Rodel was the consummate club member, contributing when he can without expecting anything in return, always putting the club's interest first. He was also unassuming in his ways, preferring to work quietly in the background. His technical knowledge was a big boost as well to the efforts of the club to maintain high technical standard in its endeavors.

You will be missed, Rodel. Rest in Peace.
