Bob Brasseur has passed away

Dean...this is indeed very sad news.  Your Dad was one of my favorite people in this hobby.  He always was helpful and informative as well as the ultimate professional.  He will be sorely missed.  I want you to know that I moved this to the announcements and featured it in all forums.  Please accept my sincere condolences and prayers on behalf of the OGR staff.

Thanks Alan

Lord bless you and Jacob Dean, your dad will certainly be missed by all of us here.

I never got to meet Bob, but if one can judge the core of a person by the passion and character they instill in their children, he must have been one of the greats. My condolences on your loss and thank you all for your contributions to the hobby.

Prayers!!!!

My deepest sympathy to you and your family.

When I used to travel to the Saginaw area for work, I'd always make a point to stop at Brasseur Electric Trains.  Bob was always gracious with his time talking trains.  Very sorry for your loss.

My sincerest condolences to his friends and family.

Condolences and a prayer to family and friends.

Dean, I am so sorry to hear! Early in my career in the 1980s, I lived and worked in Saginaw. Back then your dad sold trains out of his basement. He was still working at Steering Gear, and a visit meant long conversations about  work and trains. I bought and still have alot of Lionel from him. He was a tough negotiator when it came to pricing, as I always wanted more than I could afford! Good memories.

My prayers are with you and your family.

I'm sorry for your huge loss.

Wow, another model railroad Icon has passed on, our hearts and prayers go out the the family, We will miss your presence very much. Your friends in Tennessee. RIP.

Sincere condolences, Dean, to you and your entire family. Your dad was certainly a well-known figure in the hobby for a good many years.

So sorry to learn of your Dad's passing. As you may recall, I first meet Bob (and you) while you were selling and repairing trains out of your Dad's basement on Labor Day weekend in 1993. Visiting with your Dad at both stores on Court St. in Saginaw and having discussions regarding trains (and other topics) was always most enjoyable. My mother and father very much enjoyed chatting with your Dad, too, when I brought them along in tow. The help and advice (and repairs) offered were of great help along the way of my toy train journey. I truly miss him.

Your family is in my prayers. Godspeed.

Bob

My condolences on the loss of your father.  Though I never had the pleasure of meeting him, from the comments it sounds like he was a great ambassador for hobby.  I cannot think of a better way to honor him than to carry on the family business.

Dean sorry for the loss of your dad. My he rest in peace
