Past Wyoming SM Bob Williams, N7LKH (ex-WB6ZAK), of Wapiti, Wyoming, died June 8 following a lengthy illness. He was 89.

Williams served as Wyoming’s Section Manager from April 1997 until March 2003, when he decided not to seek another term. He was one of the longest-licensed — if not the longest-licensed — radio amateurs in Wyoming.

According to ARRL Rocky Mountain Division Vice Director Dwayne Allen, WY7FD, Williams designed the guidance system for the Titan missile, which became the guidance system for the Apollo/Saturn rockets.

Survivors include his wife Mary, KF7MC.
