My longtime friend Bob Lurig - HO Bob passed this morning at about 11am. Bob was my main train buddy and with his carpenter woodworking talent we built my layout. Starting in February 2018 we put in at least 8 hour days until the benchwork was completed in December 2019..
Although an HO man, Bob joined us O gauge guys at Allentown Thaws, Kutztown Flash Meets, Edison Greenberg, Hamburg Fieldhouse, Kempton Train and York.
Tomorrow he celebrates his birthday in Heaven.
Miss ya alot Bob.

Sorry for your loss!
So sorry to hear this. We love you Bob and we'll miss you.
Sorry to hear. Condolences.
Bob, you will be greatly missed. God bless.
Walter introduced me to Bob back in 2019. We all made some great memories running trains, getting together on the weekend to help with Walter's layout, and going to shows as Walter mentioned. Bob was gracious enough to have us over one night to see his layout in 2021 and I'm very grateful for it. I'll never forget Bob's kindness and wit; it will surely be missed at train nights and shows.
Love you Bob!
I'm so sorry to hear about Bob's passing. I always enjoyed talking with him, and thank you, Walter, for introducing me to him many years ago.
My condolences and prayers to Bob's family and friends.

Oh no. I feel so bad. Bob was an awesome person. Very sad to hear this
My condolences to his family.
Rest in peace my friend. You came to my rescue and flawlessly build the bench work for my layout.
To Walter, And Bob and his Family and friends,
My sincere condolences. Thank you for sharing the pics. A good sign of a happy person is their smile, the sparkle in their eyes, and a good soul. I see those good qualities in Bob. And the kind sentiment posted by his friends is touching. My favorite pic is Bob next to the constructed benchwork. Eight hours of work a day are long. But after all, a friend is always there to lend a hand. And I'm sure the time passed in accomplishment and rewarded in good fun. What better friend can anyone hope to have?
May Bob Rest In Peace in Heaven.
Bob will truly be missed by many. He was such a great guy, and was a tremendous help with building Walter's layout. So devastating to hear this news. Prayers to his family and friends.
Oh no! I am greatly saddened to hear this. I met Bob at one of the train get togethers at Corsair29’s layout. He was a real nice guy and I enjoyed my conversations with him. He was always upbeat about the hobby and even though he was HO he seemed to enjoy the O gauge trains and layout very much. I will miss him. My sincerest condolences to his family.
My condolences to everyone around Bob. He is in my thoughts and prayers.
My condolences to Bobs friends and family
