We are saddened to report that CVARC President Brett Price-KM6VFW passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, May 9, 2021. Brett just celebrated his 71st birthday on May 2nd.
He is survived by two sons, Andrew and Kevin and a fiancee, Shirlee Huffman. There will be a small family service in the future in the Lake Tahoe area where Brett had requested his ashes be scattered, near those of his father.
Brett spent four decades working as an attorney. He has represented governmental entities, public and private companies, and individuals in the areas of property tax law and civil litigation, commercial and business law, oil and gas law, energy resource law, construction law, real estate and bankruptcy matters.
Brett was in his second term as CVARC President. His commitment to the club and efforts in advancing amateur radio will be greatly missed.
