Greene County, Ohio Sheriff Gene Fischer, KX8GCS, passed away suddenly on
November 16 after suffering "a medical emergency" while attending a
conference, according to WHIO-TV. Fishcer worked closely with the Dayton
Hamvention after the show moved to Xenia in 2017, even earning his ham
license and getting the vanity call KX8GCS (Greene County Sheriff). Fishcer
was a police officer in Xenia for 20 years befor becoming county Sheriff in
2003. He has served in that postion for the past 18 years. Fischer was 65.
