That is sad news.
Edit: I updated the link as RM closed the first one; there were three threads running concurrently. The one above is the active one.

This is sad news. Barry was a friend. We often discussed the User Group meetings. It will definitely be a loss for the hobby but more importantly his family and friends.

Sad news and my condolences to his family and friends. He made an astonishing impact on the hobby. Without his work, it's possible that DCS would not have survived its early teething pains. He also made an enormous effort to help anyone who was having difficulties. The hobby is the poorer for his passing.

Which reminds me that Thor Sheil passed away back in November. I read his All-Guage page endlessly when I first started back into this twenty-five or so years ago. He was forever a reminder that one should not take anything, especially toy trains, too seriously. I'm very glad to see that his page is still available on-line:

A gentle, or not so gentle, reminder that time is short.

We are loosing so many people at once!!! My father passed on Mar 3rd this month. My next door neighbor lost his father on the 12th and now I read about Charlie and the DCS guru.

John

Sorry for your loss. I cherish everyday I still have with my dad.

Sorry to hear about your dad, John. It’s been nearly twenty years since I endured that...think of him every day.

Healey

John, my deepest sympathies on your dad's passing. Brutal business.
