We received devastating news this morning that our great friend and fellow collector Glen Ghilotti passed away over the weekend. For those of us who knew Glen there was never a more generous man who loved every aspect of life from family, to his Team Ghilotti family, to his ACMOC family and his community of Petaluma and Sonoma County.

I am at a loss for words right now but I will deeply miss my great friend Glen and that can do attitude.

Rest In Peace my friend, a job well done.

Hi, Tom.
Thank you for passing on this sad news. Glen was, as you said, a larger than life figure and possibly the most generous man It has ever been my privilege to meet. I first met Glen at the 2008 Best Show On Tracks at the Dan Best Ranch at Woodland, CA. and went on to work on six more shows and one play day with him.

I would suggest that he was one of the most passionate collectors in the hobby, especially with regard to Caterpillar machinery and even more so about the 1940s to 1960s equipment.He was also passionate about operating them safely, correctly and efficiently.

He will be sorely missed.

My condolences go to his lovely wife, 'Mrs Hunny', his children and step children, his Team Ghilotti family, his ACMOC friends and all his many other friends.

R.I.P., Glen.

Just my 0.02.

You have a wonderful day. Best wishes. Deas Plant.

First and foremost, my sincerest condolences and prayers for the entire Ghilotti family!

Secondly, this is also a great loss to Chapter Five and the entire ACMOC family. God's eternal peace to Glen and a big thank you for all that you did for others.

Sad news indeed!
