“In loving memory of Brian Christopher O'Connor, He was a good friend. I’ve enjoyed working with him at Garrett his entire stay there. We talked daily, argued daily. One of my favorite Trainmasters to work with. Loved his fire and relentlessness always taking care of the subdivision. He will be missed. We lost a good one.”
