Sad news, Stephen Quigley,

https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituar ... y-12024615

A hard-working, competent, generous leader of NRHS Sunrise Trail chapter NRHS.

BSB: THANK YOU for posting this obituary for longtime Long Island Sunrise Trail-NRHS President
Stephen F. Quigley...I am saddened by his sudden passing after seeing him at the September 2024
LIST Chapter meeting-at one point those in attendance sang "Happy Birthday" to him for his 73rd...

President Quigley did so much for LIST first as an active member and as Chapter President...
One example is his publishing of the LIST-NRHS "Semaphore" each month (except July and August)...
He will be missed...Respectfully Submitted, MACTRAXX

His tireless dedication to the Semaphore, LIST-NRHS, LIRR, and support for the trainsarefun website were unwavering. Our numerous conversations were always a pleasure and I will sorely miss him.

Steve: My thoughts exactly - Steve Quigley's presidency brought stable leadership for LIST overall...
The good relationship with the LIRR and the historical contributions to your website are examples...

Personally it is good to note that you are safe and back posting again from FL after Hurricane Milton...
MACTRAXX

Thanks Mike, So so sad... BTW: trainsarefun exist in the cloud and where in transport to an evac locate , if necessary.

In memory of Steve, I have dedicated the LIST Semaphore page in his lasting honor. His 20 year LIST-NRHS stewardship was the driving force behind the monthly Semaphore. RIP my Friend.
