I was shocked when I read the email this morning announcing the passing of a very good friend – Dave Thompson of Berwick, NS.
Dave joined our UMG modular group a few years ago. He fit into the group right from the start with his good natured sense of humour and eager willingness to lend a hand.
Dave enjoyed getting children interested in the hobby of model railroading. It was rare when you didn’t see Dave operating as a conductor or brakeman for a young operator during a show.
I could only find a few photos of Dave in my collection, but thanks to Dave M. and Doug W. for digging some up and sending them along.
Dave will be missed by all that knew him.

- Dave – always with the action… and kids!
