passed away October 17, 2015 in Dearborn. I, and others on here, I am sure, who have interests in both vintage cars and electric trains have visited CarRail there in the area. I think I was there for an LCCA (might have been another club) convention. I just found this noted in a vintage car publication which gave attention both to his interest in cars and Lionel trains, so I hope this has not been previously reported on here.
