Hutch and I spent a lot of our early railroad careers together in locomotive engineer school and our off time playing backgammon. I just heard of his passing and wish to send my condolences to Sarah,Brian and all the family. I considered him a true friend indeed. RIP Hutch!

I met Stephen when he entered CSX locomotive engineer service. As he boarded the locomotive, he introduced himself and told me that he was going to teach me all about running a train. I was without an answer for the 1st time in my life, but it didn't take long to converse. We were USAF Veterans, born 9 days apart in March of 1949, strong willed (hard headed), and now in the same Railroad career path. Several years later we accepted a lucrative temporary transfer to Garrett IN to fill a manpower shortage due to the Conrail acquisition. According to our coworkers in Richmond, we wouldn't make it 30 miles without a major run in. Twenty one months later we returned to Richmond without an unpleasant exchange. We shared an apartment, activities, while a trusting friendship grew, sharing our lives ups and downs until his last days. Needless to say, I am broken at the loss of my trusting friend, and broken for his Bride, Sarah. My condolences to all of the bereaved. RIP #1.
