I had a call from my mother today. My Dad passed away this morning. He had been in failing health for the past year, but even so, this was not expected.

 

I wish to take a moment and acknowledge his part with getting me into this hobby. He (and Mom) gave my brother and me our first train set for Christmas back in the sixties. Little did he know what would grow out of that gift! I think he was very proud of what I have done with that push. I just wish I could have shared more with him.

 

God bless, and rest well, Dad. You earned it.

Chris,

       My deepest condolences on the passing of your father.  I would just like to say that I have been a member of the forum for thirteen years and the number of postings I have read about son's paying tribute to their fathers and the fact that their Dads passed on their love of trains to their offspring is deeply moving.  If anyone is to doubt that we are all a product of our environment they should have an opportunity to go back and review these threads.
