A tragic loss to the Model A hobby, Alex Janke
 

Yesterday we lost Alex Janke to a terrible accident. He was a three time President of MAFCA and was currently serving as the Treasurer. Many of you probably attended one of his many seminars at the Gilmore Museum or during the Hershey Swap Meet. He was one of the main contributors to MAFCA publications and to the How-To videos produced by the Diablo A's chapter. Many of us have relied upon his skills and knowledge for decades. We will feel his loss for many years to come.

That is a Deep and a personal loss.
That leaves a big hole that won't be filled.
A unique and talented man.
He is in a better place.

Found out that Alex was at his farm when his tractor overturned with him on it. Apparently, his son found him and tried to revive him but couldn't. He is going to be missed and our club meetings will be duller without him.

This is very sad news. Condolences to his family and many friends. Our hobby is much the poorer for his loss.

I was very surprised and very sad to hear about this great loss to the Model A Hobby. He was a great leader and a great ambassador of the Model A. My deepest sympathy to the family.

Very sorry to hear this. He helped me a lot on our trip to TX. Without him and a couple of other guys I may have turned around and come home, but they gave me the will to see it through and I will always hold them dear to my heart. He has made trips out to help guys in the other club (Henry's A's) near his own and never turned us down when we asked for a favor. Ruth and family our prayers are with you. I loved his seminar on rebuilding the rear end and because of it, I redid mine and it has worked well ever since, So sad.
