Posted by The Flxible Neofan on Sat Apr 7 12:26:16 2007, in response to Re: Some bad news (Re: Surgery III), posted by 1C/Ballston on Sat Apr 7 10:57:54 2007. I only met Dante once in person, at Trevor's Thanksgiving Party. However, as regulars of the AIM transitchat room, it was always a pleasure to talk with him, especially about BARTA and whatever SEPTA issue going on. Also, his pictures were always great. It was an honor having him as a member of Philadelphia Transit Vehicles as well.Since I've heard the news, I've been in a state of shock and disbelief, especially since i didn't know he was sick or getting surgery at the time. It was only a few days ago when he replied to a topic about LED signs on the route 100 (with a nice picture showing it), and posted these amazing pictures of NJT Metro Bs. It's hard for me to believe/comprehend that these conversations and picture showings have stopped for good. My heart goes out to his family, especially his mother, who was so kind to come onto the board and give us this very sad news. On another note, I agree with 1C/Ballston in the fact that it is great that we are such a close knit community that, despite some arguments and minor conflicts, truly cares and mournes together at the loss of a member, especially someone such as Dante. I, too, am honored to be a part of this community (which, in my opinion, also includes BTCo.net, PhiladelphiaTransitVehicles.cjb.net, the late bustalk.net, and straphangers.org). Rest in peace, Dante. You surely will be missed. |
