Pennsyk4(Rancocas) has passed

Charlie was a true gentleman and great supporter of the forum.  Thanks to him I have many PRR books in my library that help me immensely with my various projects.  I loved watching his videos of various Pennsy trains.  This is sad news.  He truly will be missed. 

Yes I will miss him too. I Used to meet him at the O scale show in Cherry Hill. We used to talk about the customization of the Williams 1984 rf16's. God bless and high ball. I will have to watch his videos on YouTube again.

I am new here so I did not have the good fortune to know Charlie. To those of you who knew him, I offer my sincere condolences. I am very sorry for your loss. It sounds like he was generous and a real asset to the model railroad community. May his legacy live on through those he helped and inspired.

I will have to search the forum archives and re-read his posts.  I probably exchanged a few compliments with him.  May he rest in peace.

Back on the 17th of January (this year) I was talking to Marty Fitzhenry as to what had happened to Charlie since we had not seen posts from him in a while.  Charlie was a great contributor of this forum and a really nice guy!!  He will certainly be missed....

I only had one occasion to meet Charlie....I drove down to his home in South Jersey a few years ago to pick up some train display cases as he was cleaning out the house and garage, getting ready for his move south.  I remember his friendly nature, we talked about trains and dogs for a while.  Sorry to hear of his passing.

My condolences to his family.  I bought some 3rd Rail engines from Charlie when he was getting ready to move, I'll miss his posts.  I too wondered where he went.  He did like his dogs, I do remember that.

I'm sorry to hear this.  I always enjoyed his posts.  My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

I was just thinking that I haven't seen him post in quite a while.

Our condolences to his family

Yes, I too remember his posts. PennsyK4 was a pleasant , friendly and reasonable voice in our little community, here on OGR. I am sorry he is gone.

I hope plenty of us took the opportunity while he was alive to tell him we enjoyed his company and input here.

Thank you, Mr. Cuozzo, for letting us know.

I too really miss Charlie. He was a really great guy. He loved trains, his dogs and his family. It was posted here on 11/10/15 under Charlie Augustine, but I guess not a whole lot of people knew him by that name and the thread got off the top page. It is such a shame that he retired to Florida to be near his sister only to live about a year there. He never had a bad word to say about anybody. His email was something like TheRancocasKid@...... Charlie I hope you rode off into the sunset on your way to heaven.

Here is a picture of him operating his layout with his nephews:

Charlie's posts added a lot to this forum. He'll definitely be missed Condolences to his family.

It is always sad when one of our ranks passes.    I always enjoyed reading his posts.

Very sorry to learn of the passing of Charlie. My sincere condolences to his family.

Gentlemen,

   Our hobby has sure lost some really good people over the past few years, Charlie was one of the best, we hope his family is OK and recovering from their loss.

May the Supreme Architect welcome him to his every lasting layout in the sky.

I bought an engine from him when he was preparing for his move to Florida. He was a great guy to deal with. I will have to run a lap in honor of his memory. RIP.

Charlie and I graduated from the same high school in 1955 and reconnected on this forum

about 2004,after reconnecting we met for breakfast every two weeks and ran trains at my house or his.He did not want to move to Florida but his sister retired there.I told him to marry a nurse and get free long term care.That`s what I did so far so good.

I too remember Charlie's (PennsyK4) posts dating back to the early days of the OGR Forum.  My sincere condolences to his family and friends.

Charlie, Rest In Peace . . . . We'll toot the whistle for you.

Eliot and Ginny

A nice man who will be missed. He is now with the holy father, may he rest in peace. 

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Charlie.  He was a true gentleman.  A world of knowledge on PRR.  Rest in peace.

Our condolence to his family.

Rest in peace Charlie.
