Default Stein Jr passing

From what I have read on other forums, Stein Jr has passed away. He was a valuable member of the online model railroad community, and he will be missed. His attention to layout design was second to none....as was his ability to'get to the point'.

His contributions spoke volumes, and god bless his survivors.....

Oh, man, what a loss. Such a great wealth of information and always willing to share it. Incredibly sad to hear.

What a stunning surprise, and so soon after losing Wolfgang. We have lost two great authorities in the hobby within five weeks, and with Stein we have lost an expert in yard design and critiquing.

This is a black time, for sure.

He will be missed on this forum also. I always looked forward to reading his suggestions to other members about track and layout planning.
My condolences to his family.

Got the word on the MR forum that our friend was taken from us by a heart attack. RIP Stein.
