Recieved this about an hour ago.I'll admit it brought the tears even though I was expecting it.This is from his daughter Kim.
Hi Johnathan, my Dad has asked me to forward a message to you. I'm
going to
add a note that my Mom wanted you to get before his message tho:
From Mom (Letty):Robin has chosen to have palliative care at home,
hopefully
to the end. There is no treatment for this type of cancer that would
be of
much help so we are going for comfort measures with as much quality of
life
as possible with family and friends. Fortunatly, a lot of family and
friends are close at hand. I'm sure he would enjoy a brief visit from
anyone who is able or would like to visit him once he's settled in at
home.
We anticipate him coming home Wed. Sept21.
From Dad:Hi Johnathan my friend,
We have shared a ton of stuff about our great hobby of model
railroading
over the years. Enjoyment about bringing old and new into the world of
NARA
has been amazing. Now the direction my health is taking makes me
wonder
what is in-store for the future and what it will mean to my
contribution to
the hobby will be.
I know this seems like it is coming out of the blue, but I was
wondering
what you think about this...at some time in the future I know that we
would
be looking to selling the house. The big question comes to mind
regarding
dismantelling my railroad and what to do with everything. I'd like to
offer
any and all items to those that could use them. I do NOT wish to make
any
money while going through this process.
Would you please let the guage members know what I'm thinking about
regarding the dispersal of my railroad equipment.
Thanks Johnathan.
Regards, Robin
Another quick note from me Johnathan (Kim)....Once Dad is home and if
he's
feeling up to it, I'll form an inventory of what he's thinking could be
shipped safely and easily. That way, members of the guage would be
able to
let us know what specifically they'd be interested in.
Thanks for caring, Regards, Kim
