John Longhurst's tribute to Ken Epp
Long time WMRC member John Longhurst wrote a tribute to his brother-in-law Ken Epp in his most recent post on his blog, the CP Rail Manitoba and Minnesota Subdivision. It has been mentioned before on a previous post on this site, but it was so moving that it warranted another posting. The best quote was one from Ken himself, reflecting on his many trips on Via Rail and Amtrak.
�I have to say that sitting in the dome car at night as the train goes across the Canadian Shield, watching the signals get knocked down, seeing the northern lights and the snow on the trees�I don�t know if what heaven is like, but for me, that�s heaven.�
We can only hope that heaven is as nice a place as that.
Ken's funeral service will be held on Sunday, October 19 at North Kildonan Mennonite Brethren Church, 1315 Gateway Road at 2:30 PM.
