| Post subject: | Steve Delibert has passed away |
Sad news from Dick Makse.... I'm so sad to tell you that our good dear friend and President of the Ulster & Delaware RR Historical Society, Steve Delibert, died today at 6:30 AM. Steve had been diagnosed with lung cancer around the time of the Society's Andes Trip in April and had fought to conquer the disease.His sterling performance on our July 10 trip is what Steve was all about. It's only hours later and I miss him so much. I knew Steve since we were both young railroaders at the LIRR in 1967 and I loved and respected him. I will so terribly miss him. We wrote each other emails almost every night for the last six years and I so enjoyed his friendship, wit and intelligence. He so loved the railroads of the Catskills and the Mountains themselves. We and the Mountains have lost a true friend. Steve wanted to be buried in his beloved Catkills. Join us in Margarettville (the virtual center of Steve's Delaware County world and the center of the railroads we all loved) on Saturday, July 31 at 1 PM at Hynes Funeral Home, 48 Walnut Street, Margaretville. (a brief ceremony will take place at that time; you may pay respects as early as 10 AM). Steve's final resting place will be at the Bedell Cemetery in Fleiischmanns on Little Red Kill Road immediately following the funeral ceremony. Should you have any questions, call me (201) 493- 0230 or Tom Hynes, the funeral director, at (845)586-3475. If you can't make it, say a prayer for a wonderful guy. Dick Makse |
