Paul Stackow, passed away after a short illness. He was on the forum, mostly in the what have you done on your layout" page. He was a member of the TCA for many years, a member of our Tuesday Night Train Crew in the Cleveland Suburbs, and a charter member of the MOD Squad (our local Module group).
Paul never had a negative word to say about anyone and would be quick to lend support or his knowledge to any of his train friends, of which I am fortunate to be called one. He had a great sense of humor even if the joke was on him. One quick story was the time he was so happy to mention to me that he got his York badge in the mail before mine. So he was hosting our Tuesday Night group over at his house and we noticed his badges hanging up in the kitchen. So I took his badge and then proceeded to send him pictures the rest of the week with his badge in various dangerous locations. (over a fire, about to be flushed, in a dogs mouth ect) Paul had a great laugh at that although I have never seen someone so relieved the next Tuesday when we gave him his badge back unharmed.
I will truly miss my friend and am better for knowing him the last 10+ years.
