Good Morning Everyone,
What a wonderful way to preserve someone's hard work and dedication. Too often this doesn't happen. In my short time I have seen many layouts end up in the dumpster. I, unfortunately, did not know Marty except through this forum. I quickly learned what a staple he was for several individuals as well as the forum in general. It was difficult to watch his decline and see forumites who knew him morn his passing. I'm sure those type of bonds still exist among others on here as well. A great example of how trains bring people together.
As it's already been said enjoy every day that you wake up because the next is not promised. There are many wonderful people on this forum that regularly contribute to the enhancement and education of this wonderful hobby. A motivating photo, a kind word, a helpful tip, or even a best guess at a fix for something come out daily. I quote Ellen DeGeneres when I say "Be kind to one another", because one day all of us will leave the station one last time and your last comment or simply how you said something will stay with you.
Prayers go up to the Fitzhenry family and the wonderful men of the NJHR. Your work recently was honorable and I'm sure Mr. Fitzhenry is smiling.
Dave
