Jack was one of the real "greats" of S Scale. A tireless champion of S. If
you showed the slightest interest in S, he was there to hook you in as he did
with me and many others. As long as your trains were S and scale he would give
you the shirt off of his back. He opened his basement every Thursday night for
anyone to come run trains or just hang-out and talk S. A curator of our
history, he took great pride in his collection of models from the 1930's up to
the present. It was a wonder to watch him work a potential S newbie handing
them a paper printed tank car side or a loco built from wood and then walking
them through time up to the latest and greatest River Raisin brass.
I'd say S and the Northern Ohio S Scalers lost one of the most positive lights
in our universe. It is the end of an era for those of us in Northeast Ohio but
I think we all carry a bit of the joy of S Scale Jack expressed on with us into
the future.
