Robert “Bob” G. Heil, 83, of Belleville, IL, peacefully passed away February 28, 2024, with his loving family at his side at Belleville Memorial Hospital after a very brave battle with cancer.
We celebrate the remarkable legacy of Bob Heil, a true pioneer in the ham radio community.
As the founder of Heil Sound, Bob revolutionized audio technology, bringing unparalleled clarity and innovation to the airwaves.
His passion for the hobby didn’t stop there; through the creation of Ham Nation, he fostered a global community of enthusiasts, sharing knowledge and inspiring countless individuals.
Bob’s dedication and ingenuity have left an indelible mark on the world of ham radio, and we are profoundly grateful for his enduring contributions.
I had the opportunity to meet Bob twice and found him to be a humble person and easy to talk to. The first time I met him I didn’t know who he was even though I owned a pair of his headphones. It wasn’t until other people came up and wanted to take pictures with him when I asked him who he was. He is going to be missed.
