I'm in shock. I just saw Dee at a NJ hamfest on March 17th, he was working the AMSAT booth with Ginny. Dee and I worked the New Jersey area AMSAT booth's together several times over the years. This is a great loss to the AMSAT community.

Dee Interdonato, NB2F died on April 8th. He was a long time Area Coordinator for NJ. Not only did he handle the booth at many NJ hamfests throughout the year but was also an invaluable help at Dayton. Several years ago, we needed help at the Greater Baltimore Hamboree & Computerfest. Dee and his wife,Ginny, drove down and worked the booth for 2 days.I could always count on him to"elmer " any new ham who had technical questions. Before retiring, Dee was the supervisor of the Radio Shop of the Port Authority of NY/NJ. He was a member of ANJRPC, BARA, Bergen County CERT, AMSAT and the Treasurer of BC FM Association. His funeral will be on Friday at 9:00 AM at Santangelo Funeral Home, 300 N Main St, Lodi NJ . In lieu of flowers, memorial contribution may be made to the Vietnam Veterans of America, 8719 Colesville Rd #100, Silver Spring MD 20910 or AMSAT, 850 Sligo Ave #600, Silver Spring MD 20910.
