In Memory of Walt Cassens

[Tom Hoczyk]

At the Pittsburgh 1994 PCS International Meet, 5 Eureka cars parked together on the back lot, and Walt Cassens posed with them. Left to right: 1953 Eureka Flower Car (Tom Hoczyk, formerly owned by RF Parsons), 1957 Eureka ambulance and 1961 Eureka Combination (Virgle Onnen, formerly owned by John Schmidt and Bill Marcy), 1962 Eureka 3-way hearse (Jim & Eula McKay), 1963 Eureka Combination (Tom Hoczyk, now owned and restored by Joe McDonald). The large Eureka script on the ground was once at the Canadian Eureka plant, was owned by RF Parsons, stored in the flower car. I own it now, hanging on the wall where I store my cars.

I remember that line up of cars in the Greentree Holiday Inn parking lot.

I have a photo of my "at the time" girlfriend holding that sign sitting with Tom McPherson under his tent.

A blast from the past for sure,
Darren
