LON SEVERE now SK
See below extract from his son Michael
Ok folks this one hurts. My Facebook is generally for entertainment and fun but tonight I have to deviate.
On Sunday the 17th at 4pm my dad, Lon Severe, left us to journey into that great unknown. It was quiet peaceful and as dignified as possible. He was surrounded by myself, my mother[ Wilma Sever](www.facebook.com/wilma.severe?__cft__[0]=AZX_Km1OZKi-7pRZXv0iaZqy4RcDt4CGWxkcmuZLwbJOQ3QlS7Xnai8aH3zUs7NEXTG576fasYzG1VDJ6yiat8wCYtnjkso_sPm4D9dj4SVdCqtEDqCIdXSZjqAzeItqRc-dO-5GJRjWv1fRvUi0k4r3BxMJ875Z-VwCgScRHnn3RVB4Kr3jUvsBtVfC2xDwhko&__tn__=-]K-y-R)e and brother[ Alex Taws](www.facebook.com/atawse?__cft__[0]=AZX_Km1OZKi-7pRZXv0iaZqy4RcDt4CGWxkcmuZLwbJOQ3QlS7Xnai8aH3zUs7NEXTG576fasYzG1VDJ6yiat8wCYtnjkso_sPm4D9dj4SVdCqtEDqCIdXSZjqAzeItqRc-dO-5GJRjWv1fRvUi0k4r3BxMJ875Z-VwCgScRHnn3RVB4Kr3jUvsBtVfC2xDwhko&__tn__=-]K-y-R)e.
In April of 2020, as if a global pandemic wasn’t enough, dad was diagnosed with a particularly aggressive cancer and given about a year. My father was not one to take that lying down and gave it hell for three and a half years.
His toughness and quiet strength combined with his outright refusal to complain about the hand he was dealt was and will continue to be an inspiration to me. Up until the very end I would go into his room and ask him “how we doing today”, and always got the same answer “Oh fine son, good to see you, how you doing…”
I could go on for ever about the impact he had on me and so many other people but I will try to sum it up as this: he was one of the very best people you could ever meet, and to know him is to miss him. He was an absolutely wonderful father who loved his family more than anything and who taught me so much of what I know about the world. He gave me more cherished memories than I could ever have possibly asked for or deserved.
I’ll miss you pops. Catch up with you later.
WA6AEE, “73”
