VERY SAD news about Paul Opitz (UPMan)
|
Joe M.
We have been discussing this on the scanner email list,
but it was suggested it should be posted here as well... ------------------------ I just received word that Paul Opitz (UPMan) passed away Saturday from his long battle with cancer. He was surrounded by family when he passed. That is all the news I have at this time. To say he will be missed is an understatement. Joe M. |

That sucks. He is the reason I bought so many of their scanners. I hope they bring on some one to try and fill his shoes. On 12/31/2019 4:00 PM, Joe M. wrote:

He was very helpful on these posts and although I never asked him directly, I did read his posts, which were very helpful and informative. I feel I may have taken him for granted and wish I had thanked him when he was with us.

This is truly a sad moment for the scanner community, he will be greatly missed. I wish his family God Speed to go through this sad time. I'm sure he is looking down on all of us. Rest in peace my good man.

I got to hang out with him for maybe an hour when I worked at Ham Radio Outlet in Oakland. He was there for the day to introduce Uniden's scanners to our customers. He seemed like a very nice guy. I enjoyed being with him. Don
