John's wit and wisdom were matched by his tremendous hospitality. I arrived in the DC area in the mid 1970s and a hobby shop guy told me I should get in touch with him. On doing so, and introducing myself as an O-gauger, the next thing he told me was how to get to his house and what time the crew met to run his railroad. He didn't know me from Adam's off ox; I might have been an ax murderer or some other kind of felon, but he picked up the thread of common interest and we became good friends. There were very, very few people not involved with the business of railroading, and not many who were, who could match his breadth of knowledge; he could discuss any topic with you - signaling, track, locomotives, operations - you name it. And you would learn something with every conversation. There are not many genuine giants in his hobbies, and he was at the top of the list. My wife and I offer our deepest sympathy to his survivors.
