KitMaker: T Murphy McCraken RIPPosted: Monday, July 07, 2014 - 05:56 AM UTC
T Murphy McCraken or perhaps better known by some as Cuhail has died suddenly from Heart and lung failure. The best efforts of both Paramedics and hospital staff failed and they were unable to revive Murphy. What makes this a particularly sad event is that he was due to get married Saturday July 12th, 2014 to Gigi Ballad, who is described as his soul mate.

Just can't believe Murphy is gone. He taught me a lot about scratch building and was big into trains and railroading. He always made me laugh with some stupid joke that had nothing to do with the topic being discussed. He was an original, good hearted man.
Here's to you Cuhail. You were one awsome dude. May God grant you peace and may he comfort your family.

A sad loss to our community, and especially to his family and friends. His skills and sense of humour will be deeply missed.
