    I hope I have posted this in the proper forum.

    We have lost one of our members. Johnny Trains died Thursday April 29th and he is already sadly missed. His wife has sent the following e-mail to all of his friends that he had in his e-mail address mailbox.

    "To all our family, to all our friends and to all of John's fellow railfans...


    It is with a broken heart that I am writing, on behalf
    of Kathleen and myself, to tell you that sadly,
    tragically and unbelievably John (Johnny Trains)
    died on Thursday April 29 at St. Luke's Hospital from
    complications following the placement of a stent in his heart.


    We are having a Memorial Mass for John
    on Friday June 11th at 11am at the
    Church of the Blessed Sacrament
    152 West 71st Street (between Broadway & Columbus)


    There will be a reception to follow, which
    we are still in the process of planning, and
    to which everyone is invited.


    If you would like to make a charitable donation
    in John's memory, please send it to:


    Friends of NY Transit Museum
    130 Livingston Street
    9th Floor
    Brooklyn NY 11201


    Please forward this to anyone
    whose name I might have missed.


    If anyone is planning to attend the Memorial
    and is traveling by plane, please call or email
    me to get the information you need to receive
    a bereavement flight discount.


    John loved you all.

    Mary Kay Donnelly Niegocki"
