Many of you may have known CW Burfle, from various posts answering questions on repairing Postwar trains.  I just found that he has passed away March 6, 2019, from complications of a stroke.  This was reported on the OGR Forum.  His real name was Charles Sigadel, and lived in the Albany area of NY.  His obituary is listed at Legacy.com, for anyone interested.  One of the Good Guys, who will be missed.

God rest his soul, and send comfort to his family!  He WILL be missed!

I don't know if many of you visit the "Trains" Forum, but we lost a frequent poster named Ed Bysard this week, a professional railroader and gentleman of the old school.  He'll be missed as well, more than I can say.  

Sad week.

Thank you for posting the notice, Doc. I missed the notice on the other forum. 

Young man, too early. Yes, he was a valuable contributor on this forum as well as others and will be missed. I enjoyed his posts and appreciated his assistance.

Very sorry to read this ! I was just thinking the other day we had not heard from him in a while.

In my few interactions with him, I always found him to be kind, knowledgeable, and a complete gentleman. He provided great assistance, and advice, and right on the money.

My condolences to his family, and his people.

Paul
