It is with sadness that we report the death of Larry Buchan.

We created "Larry Buchan's ..."Tales from the Rails" for Larry to educate all of us and the entire world with his knowledge and regale us with his wonderful sense of humor - you will sorely be missed Larry!

Our deepest sympathies are with Larry's family.

Sincerely,

The Riddle Family as well as the
Internet Horology Club 185 Family

Oh no. I was wondering about Larry the other day when I saw his ad on a dial for sale, then nothing.

Our prayers are with the family. What a loss to the watch/railroad community. Frown

Regards! Mark

Rest in Peace, Larry.
You will be missed, by one and all, I'm sure.
I will be re-reading many of your posts.

I had good times with Larry, talking watches, especially Ball watches, via this board and by e-mail. I am very sorry to know that we have lost him and I extend my sympathy to his family.

Years ago,while still a working railroader Larry would order things (watch parts etc) from the materials house where I worked. Great to talk to on the phone. Some time back at a railroad time symposium in Rockford Il I was able to meet him in person and got to know him better. Such a wealth of knowledge of railroading and railroad watches. Will not forget him

Very sad to read of Larry's death. He shared a great deal of info around this forum and his knowledge of Cdn RR watches was greatly admired by me. Thankfully much of his knowledge is on this site. Condolences to his family.

A bit late but sorry to hear of Larry's passing, I lost my wife just over a year ago from covid and have been a bit MIA when it comes to watches and just restarted getting involved again, losing a friend or love one tends to leave a big hole in your life.

I’m so sorry to read of your loss, Claude. I was wondering what happened to you. I’ve happy to see you here again. I’ve always enjoyed talking Elgin’s with you.

My best regards! Mark

Life has strange turns, I was working from home most of 2020 because of covid and was getting close to retirement age in 2021 and my wife wanted me to retire so I got lucky and was offered a 52 week severance package beginning 1/1/21 if I finished 2020 out. I had just over 1 month of retirement with her when we both caught covid. So most of the things one always says they want to get around to doing I did. Worked out daily, lost over 60 lbs probably as fit as I was in my early 40's, bought 2 Corvettes, a 2002 yellow hatchback and a 2007 Z06, also yellow, my wife always wanted a Corvette and her first car was a yellow 69 Camaro. Took a bunch of trips, rode my Harley all over the place and enjoy the memories.
