Chester A. Armellino

Chester A. Armellino, "KF6WND", a dedicated amateur radio operator, "signed off" for the last time on Friday, March 27, 2025 in the loving care of his family.

He was born 76 years ago on October 5, 1949 in Jackson Heights, NY to Marie (Nappi) and John Armellino. He earned his Master's degree and was an electrical engineer and professor of physics and mathematics, most recently at Heald College in California.

Known across the airwaves for many years, Chester found joy in connecting with people worldwide. He was always willing to mentor and share knowledge, and enjoyed building radios, tube amplifiers and dabbling with anything electronic.

Loving him forever are his wife: Connie (Frasier) Armellino, whom he married August 11, 2001; his son: Corey (Larissa Rojko) Frasier of Cobleskill; his granddaughter: Emily (Kyle Perdue) Frasier, of Cobleskill and his faithful pups: Cody and T.C.
