To a great man who I was lucky enough to call my friend. A fellow model railroader,I will remember our trips to Woodbury, building the club layout together, and giving a broken Lionel to just the man who could fix it.Saddened to learn of the passing of a friend, a day too late to respond. Rest in peace my friend, with Gods hand on your families shoulder. You will be missed.
