JOE SAITTA has passed on |
|

Posted by JOE @ NYCMTS - NYCTMG on Mon Sep 10 00:46:29 2012 Hello ALL:I am SADLY posting this notice to inform those here who well knew JOE SAITTA, that I received word from another personal source that Joe has suddenly passed on over the weekend. I do not have full particulars and will contact Joe's Family by phone to get more details on his passsing. Joe was a good friend, a fellow traction modeler and member of my NYCTMG Group, as well as many other boards and venues. As well as a long noted publisher and historian. There will be a void in our hobby with his passing. Regards Joe F Webmaster NYC Transit Modelers Group |

Joe was a good guy and managed to endure this place with a smile. I'm sure I'm not the only one who will miss his always helpful information and treats that he left here. :( |

He was one of those who kept the faith in rail transit over the dark decades. Some of our historians held on well into retirement years, like Ed Watson and Vincent Seyfried. Others have passed on suddenly and too soon, like Roger Arcara and Dave Rogoff.And now Joe Saitta. RIP Joe and condolences to your family. |

Joe left us sometime in August.One of his friends got very concerned when his phone mail went from full to disconnected. Apparently he had some kind of a brain hemorrhage. An amblance got him to the hospital where he died. I'm sure he is happy now riding all the PCCs all over the World. That is when he's not putting some very rare items on ebay. BTW, there is no charges on Heven's ebay system :-) RIP my friend ! |

RE: Joe SaittaHello Bill M (Newkirk) I got a Sunday night call from a mutual friend of mine and Joe S, who told me he heard Joe S had passed away. I asked when - and the caller wasn't sure but assumed perhaps during just before or on the weekend. Thats all I heard - so I posted it pending further info. Joe Saitta was a very frequent poster at my NYCTM Group, and his last posted message at my NYC Transit Modelers Group was on Aug. 23, 2012 to an ongoing transit topic. I had not heard from him since then. I did call and email Joe a few times in late August on an ongoing modeling matter we were involved with - and got no reply back. I simply figured he went out of town again for another of his photo jaunts. Obviously and thankfully Mr. RT finally checked and found a bit more detailed info to post here - of even more surprise - that Joe passed away recently but in August - and NO ONE of us here ever knew about it! THAT is quite unfortunate and very SAD to say the least. To think we, his friends, were deprived even of any knowledge of funeral details and arragements. Thanks Mr. RT for your quick update. regards - Joe F Webmaster NYC Transit Modelers Group |

My condolences to his family and friends. I only knew Joe from online but he seemed like a genuinely good guy. I wouldn't say that he suffered fools gladly, but he put up with a lot of the crap that we see too often on these boards, especially from people who didn't have a fraction of his historical knowledge or his years of experience working in the transit industry.Rest in peace, Joe. |

TO all - Just an important CORRECTION to my just previous post.Joe Saitta's FINAL message posting to my NCYTMG Group was NOT on August 23rd, as I earlier stated (been up all nite over this sad news) -- but was actually Msg# 45148 posted Monday, AUG 13, 2012 at 4:54 PM. So obviously Joe died "sometime in August" as Mr. RT informed us, between at least the 14th thru 31st of August - between 2 or 3 weeks ago. Again, quite a shocker and very saddening and as per NOT a word of info coming forth until now ! Regards all Joe F NYCTMG Webmaster |

Truly a sad day in the modeling world. I was looking to add D-type Subway cars to my collection but was concerned about what was commercially available. Joe not only put me in touch with the person who manufactured the models, he also gave me tips on powering them. He also shared photos of his finished units. Such is the world of the hobbyist. Joe certainly will be missed. |
