Our Memorial to Marty Fitzhenry

I sent an email to the Museum asking about the Bricks  Both the museum and the brick company are shut down due to Covid crap  The museum said that the order is in and they will have a quick turnaround once everything opens  They should be installed late summer   If there is a York in October we are on track

Thanks for the update Ben.

Appreciate the update, Ben.  

I spoke with the museum today.  The bricks have been delivered to them.  They are planning on having them set the week of 9/14.  I will keep updating as I get news

That's great Ben, thanks for the update.

Thanks for the update Ben. Donating to this cause was money well spent. I still think about Marty almost everyday and miss him a lot as he was a great human being for so many reasons, including  but not limited to his generosity .

Thanks for the info Ben. Appreciated>.

That's great, Ben!!  Thank you for the update!!

I, too, think about Marty most days as I see Dottie on facebook each day. So if the bricks are being installed, are we planning a get together at the museum in early fall or going to wait to the spring time when April York is scheduled?

I realize folks here are spread out and the drive to there could be a lot for an hour or two having a memorial service which should be a celebration/rememberance for Marty.

I'd sure be willing to mask up and visit the museum on the day they are set if it can be determined.

Great news Ben! 

I too think of Marty, he comes to mind as i work on my repairs. I imagine what he would say to me about the issue. 

Great man and very missed !!!

Thanks for the update Ben.

I visited the Toy Train Museum this weekend to see how Marty's Brick Tribute came   The museum did a great job  The Memorial Bricks are close to the entrance and really stand out among the other bricks   Thank you again everyone that donated   Marty will memorialized for every visitor to the museum.

This picture is looking toward the main entrance  Sorry for the shadows but you can see a rectangle on the left side outside the left rail  That is Marty's

That is a nice tribute to a great guy!

Ben,  That is a great tribute!  Thank you for letting us be part of it!

Wonderful!

Thanks Ben for posting the finished tribute to Marty and most of all thank you for taking the initiative to keep Marty’s legacy alive.

I want to add my thanks to everyone who not just donated to the tribute, but to all Marty's friends who shared his passion for the hobby. Most especially I want to thank Ben Fioriello, who thought up, planned and accomplished this.

Ben , that’s great ! Very nice work.

Alex

Looks great Ben. Thank you again for putting this together.

I got to see it in person last week. It came out great. Such a fitting tribute.

Well done Ben and a great tribute to a fine gentleman I never meet him but we did exchange emails and he was very helpful.

A most memorable and fitting tribute to a fine and dedicated member of the Model Railroading Community.

Thank you Ben, and all those who contributed to this lasting recognition of Marty Fitzhenry.
