OT: Narrow gauge fan passes away

I don't how many of you know me (Jimmy Braum), but I'm sure some of you knew my dad, James Braum. He passed away yesterday at the age of 63.
He went to the Colorado railroad museum before it was in golden, knew bob Richardson iirc, knew one of the firemen at Chama. Was a subscriber to the narrow gauge gazette pretty much from the beginning. I guess I'm just having to report this heartbreaking news here, in case any of the narrow gauge guys out there remembered him. Ill share more later, but I'm just a wreck now.

These are the opinions of a twenty Four year old model railroader/narrow gauge/standard gauge steam fan.
