Martin Kisel, Jr. • 1956-2005
Marty Kisel, an electrician with the WP&YR from 1980 until 1983, passed away earlier this month. Marty was quite a character, as many of us who knew and loved him can attest to.
After the closure of the railroad shops in 1982-83, Marty had returned to his home in Chicago and worked as a cameraman for Video Productions, Inc.
Marty had an insatiable lust for life that was contagious. He will be warmly remembered by family and friends across the country. May you rest in peace, Marty. – Submitted by Denise Caposey
