Randy: thank you for the final update on Al's status . I knew he was in hospice-like care so it was only a matter of time. He was a fine man and a helpful researcher for my assorted inquiries through the years. Every day another piece of history slips away. Jim Sandrin
Greetings,
I am saddened to inform you that longtime friend, CB&Q author, historian, photographer, genealogist and consummate gentlemen, Al Holck, passed away this morning at the age of 93.
Many of you knew Al, read his books, perused his photographs and enjoyed his congenial company at the annual meets. Al was meticulous in his research and always ready to learn something new about his favorite railroad especially the history of the railroad in Wyoming where Al worked as a geologist for several years.
Al believed in sharing material and did so freely in hopes his lifelong pursuit and contributions to the history of the railroad would be seen by all and not just a few. Al’s last book, The CB&Q in Wyoming will be published by Mile Post 206 Publishing.
If you would like to send the family a personal condolence, please send it to me off list. I will gladly forward it.
High Green, Al.
Randy Danniel
