It is with a very heavy heart to pass along the news of his passing today.  Marty was the most congenial and friendly guys I've ever known.  He always made you feel at ease and his passion for railroading and life was very inspirational.

Just received the sad news that Marty Phelps, founder of the Medina Railroad Museum passed away early this morning after a brief battle with cancer. Marty was the driving force behind the museum in Medina and his passion for preserving our railroad heritage will be missed by all. He was a long-time friend of the Society, supporting all of our projects with the same passion he had for the Medina RR Museum. He was just at our February Train Show where he debuted his "portable station" that he had built to promote the museum. Marty's "huge" personality will sorely be missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Marty's family. May he rest in peace.
