I just found out about this this afternoon, and I was sadened. I was fortunate enough to meet Iz and talk trains, etc, past present and future at the Steel Wheels show this past October. He was a humble, down to earth guy, and I didn't even feel worthy to be in his presence, but he made me comfortable, and had no ego, like a lot of people I've met over the years who couldn't even accomplish an 1/8 of what he did. Pioneer, Legend, and King, he will be missed, and remembered always. God speed my friend, R.I.P.
