Hello everyone.

With a heavy heart I would like to inform you that my Dad, Robert "Bob" Brasseur, had passed away yesterday February 27 2025. Another "Old Guard" icon of our industry is gone and will be sorely missed.

Bob had a lifelong passion for Lionel trains. He acquired Lionel Service Station #199 in 1970. This was the start of Brasseur Electric Trains in Saginaw Michigan. I (Dean) got my passion for repairing trains from him at an early age and years later I helped him open the train store.  Bob was also instrumental in Jacob's (his grandson and Dean's son) passion for train repair as well.

Jacob and I are carrying on the tradition of providing excellent customer service through Brasseur Electric Train Repair in Albemarle, NC.

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.
