Sad day for NJ HIRAILERS

 God bless him, his family and friends. Very sorry for your loss.

I didn't know Ed very well but the few times I spoke to him he was very friendly and open.   He will be missed.  God bless him and his family.

Very sad news. Ed was a great guy. The HiRailers will truly miss his devotion to the club, and the rest of the train community will miss talking to a good friend about the hobby we all love.

May he rest in peace!!!

Sorry to hear about this....May God Bless him and his family...

I met Ed at Trainstock, Nice guy and lived up in Northern NJ by me. Sorry I did get a chance to know him better.  

Sorry to hear this sad news.   My thoughts and prayers go out to Ed and his family.  He was a great guy and helped make the NJ Hi-Railers such a great club and awesome layout.

Thoughts and prayers to his family and the NJHR.

Vinny, so sorry you guys lost a good friend.

I never had the opportunity to meet Ed but I fell from talking with the other members it was my loss.

My condolences go out to Ed's family.

I never got a chance to meet Ed, but am nonetheless very sorry to hear of a fellow train enthusiast's passing.  Deepest sympathies extended to all Ed's family and close friends.

Sorry for the loss of Ed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all his friends and loved ones. May he rest in peace forever.

Sad news indeed. My condolences to his family and friends.

My condolences to his family and friends, I'm sure he will be missed.

Sorry For your loss.. My condolences to his family and friends.

Condolences to family friends and the Club.

 I too met Ed at a Trainstock event. He went out of his way to help me when he saw I had an engine to run. He opened up the layout to me and made us feel at home.

 When a guy is genuine and understands, having him around can make it more than just a layout in a building. Very sad.

Another great loss to the model railroading community. He was an excellent ambassador to the hobby and a great friend to all, this was a man that truly just loved playing with trains. Take care until we meet again buddy.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Hirailers are a great club and every member contributed a great deal to the beauty of the layout. I didn't know Mr. Zarelli but I know his passing will be a great loss to the club.

It is always sad to read a post such as this.  My condolences to his family and all the friends who knew him. 

My paryers go out for Ed and all of the Zarelli family and friends. This sort of news is always heart rendering but when it happens to a great group like the NJHR's it really starts to hit home.

What a tribute to his life when so many will sorely miss him. Our condolences to his family.

I think I may have spoken to him once or twice during one of your Open Houses.  Very sorry to hear the news.  I offer my condolences to both you at the Hi_Railers, as well as to his family.

We were close friends when I was in the club, always had a helping hand building the additions to club layout.  I last saw him when I came back for this year's Trainstock.  Very sad news, my condolences to his entire family and friends.

See you on the other side of the tracks Ed, may God hold you in the palm of his hands.
