Today I am the bearer of bad news - my father Peter W. Abeles passed away suddenly on January 12, 2016. I am heartbroken and shocked - family comes first, even when that is difficult, and this will be a massive change in my world.
Dad was in seemingly good health, and was simply walking
his & his wife's dog around the block near his home Tuesday 1/12 around 2
pm when he had an apparent massive heart attack. Very sudden and shocking to us all. We are in mourning but are working through
that darkness so that we can more appreciate all the light and smiles he brought
into our world. He was quite a traveler over his life - my most recent trip with him was actually to Syracuse on a model railroad research & inspiration trip, on which we were able to spend some quality time with family, as well. Such a privilege!
While not a model railroader, Dad loved watching people do what they loved to do. He felt that human nature can be coached and guided for the common good, for the positive, when people build community and work to think of others needs before their own. Therefore, he was a big supporter of the Onondaga Cutoff and the operating sessions we host.
He was a dedicated, committed father, husband, and friend, and will be dearly missed!
