Members who have passed away
David H. (Dave) Trempe 1946 - 1998 Dave was an avid rail fan and fond of coal hauling activities, particularly around our local power plant. In his memory, a replica of that power plant was constructed on the original layout and named after him. |

Alden A. (Al) Wagner 1943 - 2001 Al was a modeler who enjoyed intricate detail. His circus modules, recently revitalized featuring over 500 figures get set up at every show we attend. His carpentry skills came into play when we started construction on our original layout and insured that it was built to last. |

father into model railroading and enjoyed it very much. Trains
fascinated him when he was very young. Sadly, his father left us in

Jerry A. (The Bear) Lampe 1943 - 2004 The "Bear" He was always there when we needed him. His jaded humor was much enjoyed and envied. His electrical skills came into play when he rewired the building shortly after we purchased it. His many contributions over the years are too numerous to mention, but very much appreciated. He loved rail fanning and was able to visit George Selios' Franklin & South Manchester shortly before he died. |
Joseph L. Windmiller 1932 - 2007 Joe was an avid rail fan, particularly of the Santa Fe railroad, since it operated near where he lived in California for many years. He was often teased about one trip to the Tehachapi Loop where he forgot there was no film in his camera. After retirement he moved to Wisconsin and was instrumental in our early years at the Railroad Museum. He worked on a number of the initial projects building our permanent layout. |
Terry R. Piaskowski 1951 - 2014 Terry was one of our founding members who wrote our Constitution and By Laws. He did extensive research to establish the Society as a non-profit corporation. His modeling skills were much admired, along with his willingness to try almost anything. |

heaven". He is greatly missed. |
