ZL2WP Bruce Douglas Silent Key



It is with much sadness that I advise, Bruce Douglas, past Councillor,
Vice President and President of NZART passed away suddenly on Saturday
13 February 2016.Bruce was first licensed on the 1st April 1992, and
joined Lower Hutt branch soon after. Bruce’s history within
NZART has been considerable, he was co-opted onto the Headquarters
Management Team in June 1999 to assist with the financial running of the
Association. This

committee later became known as the Business Management Sub-Committee of
which he

remained a member until 2009.



As a well respected Trust lawyer, Bruce’s vast knowledge of
Trust Deeds and all workings of Family and Business Trust rules and
regulations was invaluable to NZART, helping to set up the Radio Science
and Education Trust document that is still in place today. He was
nominated and elected to NZART Council in June 2001, at which time he
was also appointed as Vice President to President Peter Norden ZL2SJ.
Bruce was elected as President of NZART in 2005, a position he held
until June 2009 at which time he retired from Council and all committees
associated with his position due to ill health. Bruce continued to
remain a supportive and loyal member of our organisation until his
passing on Saturday.



Our sincere condolences go to his wife Marilyn, son Andrew and daughter
Fiona and their

respective families.
