The world lost a great person with the passing of Vincent Ralph Cardinale. As a child I spent hours on end playing with his sons Chris and Vincent. I would come down the street and under the fence, past the horse chestnut tree and into the back of their salmon color split level house and into the basement. That is where I would find Mr. Cardinale with his Lionel Train set up. Something I never witnessed before. He was very generous with his time. It was he that my Father consulted with in getting me a Lionel train set. Today I still have trains in honor of Mr. Cardinale. He will always be remembered.
