We are saddened to have lost another member of our museum family. Mr. Jim Spindler was an energetic man with a huge love for railroads. He along with his wife, Karen, spent many hours volunteering as train crew, car hosts, preparing for special events and promoting KRM. Jim’s love for the museum and being a locomotive engineer was evident as he wore a tag on his shirt that said “I’m living my dream!” His smile was contagious and the love he had for his family was phenomenal. Jim made volunteering at KRM a family affair, often involving his children and grandchildren. We ask that you please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers. His full obituary is below. James “Jim” M. Spindler, 86, of Syracuse, passed away peacefully on Wednesday at Upstate Community Hospital with family by his side.

In addition, Jim served in different capacities for the following organizations; United Way of CNY, Volunteer Center, Downtown Committee, Syracuse University Continuing Education and NYS Special Olympics.
