Manitoba's model railroading community mourns the passing of Selkirk Model Railroad Association President Tom Reeve

   It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our good friend, President and Chairman of the Board of the Selkirk Model Railroad Association, Tom Reeve, after a brief battle with pneumonia and liver cancer.

   Tom was a founding member of the Selkirk Model Railroad Association. Tom's lifelong interests in the hobby and dedication to the hobby was certainly shared by all. His presence at the club house and in all our projects was felt and Tom will be missed by all who knew him.

   Tom was interested in all scale (N, HO, O and G scale) and an avid reader of anything that involved trains. Tom was a strong supporter and worker in the latest project of the association, the diorama for the Heritage Museum of Grand Beach. Sadly, he will not be there for the final installation in the middle of July.

   Tom's funeral service will be held on Tuesday, July 8 at the Gilbart Funeral Home, 309 Eveline Street, in Selkirk at 11:00AM.
