A very nice man who shared many first hand accounts of his rail experiences, many occurring long ago.
One of the nicest people on these boards. Sure to be missed.
Here's yet another person that I never met in person, but somehow felt I knew from his many postings on this forum. He was a gentleman and will be missed here by his many friends.
From his obituary I'd say his was a life that was well-lived.
tree68 Always a pleasure to see on the forum.

OMG. I'm so saddened to hear this terrible news. I always enjoyed his posts and I'll miss him very much.
Larry Resident Microferroequinologist (at least at my house) Everyone goes home; Safety begins with you My Opinion. Standard Disclaimers Apply. No Expiration Date Come ride the rails with me! There's one thing about humility - the moment you think you've got it, you've lost it...
I will miss Degge's comments. He was very knowable about many aspects of railroading.

A regular here at trains.com whom I will sorely miss.
If GM "killed the electric car", what am I doing standing next to an EV-1, a half a block from the WSOR tracks?
Sad news ladies and gentlemen, we've lost Johnny Degges, who went by the callsign "Deggesty." The "Night Train" came for him July 29th.
This comes courtesy of Mike MacDonald, our exiled "Wanswheel."

A true southern gentleman of the old school. God rest his noble soul!
