    The source of my passion for things, railroad and specifically things, Frisco died early this afternoon. He was a veteran of the Korean War, a railroader, beloved husband and a great father.

    So very sorry to hear of your father's passing Karl. What a loss for you, but us all, as well. We are losing these treasures at an alamaring rate. The Korean vets are among the least celebrated, but most deserving veterans we have.
    I am very sad for you and your family.
    Kindest regards,

    Karl, I am sorry for your loss, also. It is tough loosing our parents, and the best way we can honor and remember them is to live the legacy they taught us as I know you will. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers. In spite of the circumstances, it was a great time to be with family and friends to reminisce about Dad.

    Just one last comment. One of the great things about being the son/grandson of Frisco railroaders, was getting to meet many of their fellow Frisco employees. During the visitation, John Donica stopped by to pay his respects. John was one of my Dad's best friends, and John stopped by the house on numerous occasions. I had not seen John in many years, and having the opportunity to catch-up and chat about the Frisco was a a pleasure in spite of the sad occasion.
