Hello everyone I hope you all enjoy this video I put together with some pictures and some video of Hobo Shoestring, He was a really good friend to me and my Mom, after we met each other we just hit it off as good friends, I made this video In Memory Of Hobo Shoestring ( Mark Nichols ) I didn't make this video for views I made it for each of Hobo Shoestring's Friends and Family to watch and hopefully enjoy, Prayers For The Family and Friends 🙏
@@dianemiller5938 Thanks for watching the video and for commenting, I know I can't believe he's gone, Hobo Shoestring will be missed by many Family Members and Friends but he won't be forgotten ✝️
He was my go to TH-camr for 4 years or so. His passing caused me to feel significant loss. Really need a plaque and or little monument of Mark Shoestring Nichols. He's a unique American Railroad National Treasure in my eyes
Wonderful montage of our beloved Hobo Shoestring. Well done. Thanks for posting this. Especially the part when he waves back at you in the distance. That scene is timeless and priceless. Sorry for your loss brother. What a beautiful soul Mark was and will remain. God Bless..

I just wanted to say thanks for the video, I am sure he would have enjoyed that you took the time to share it with us. Be Blessed.

Hello man, so sorry for your loss of a good friend, never met the man but can tell that he was the kinda guy who must've had many a story to tell . Would have never heard of him if not for your channel. He doesn't have to travel anymore, I'm sure his last journey got him home to Lord, God bless you and your family during this difficult time.😊
Thanks for stopping by and watching the video and I really appreciate the kind words in your comment, He was a good person that's for sure, Hope You And Everyone Your Way Are Doing Well, Take Care And Have A Blessed Week 🙏
@@lawrencechristopher3830 As I was leaving the comment I heard the horn of a train... I live in a neighborhood that has trains go by everyday, I get to where you really don't hear them anymore... but I heard that one today. Thought you may like to hear that.
@@ericwallace1456 That is pretty nice that you usually don't pay any attention to the sound of the train sounds next to you but today you heard it right after we were chatting about Hobo Shoestring, I live next to some Railroad Tracks myself and it's probably some that he's rode through on, it comes through a few different times a day, I was getting used to the sound until what happened to Hobo Shoestring knowing he rode trains now I am paying attention to the sound more again, take care and have a good evening ✝️
So sad to hear the other week that he has past away, very nice tribute to Mark, it was Mark’s mention of your channel that lead me to subscribe to your TH-cam channel.

How are you doing today Sir? Just wanted to say hello. I know you, are dealing with a tragic loss. It's hard but sometimes we will see him again. God bless you and thank you for m 0:550:55 aking me aware of such a wonderful and interesting man...
Thanks for the tribuite to hobo shoestring! I called him Mark a lot. He would always let me know that Larry will help him out. I watched Mark from home. I had a bunch of camping stuff and other things for Mark yet he never came over my way to pick it up. I hopped a few freights trains and showed my sisters how when I was young. I am a shut in handicapped person named Paul on this end. Am sick with low blood sugar too. I texted to Mark when he was in Alaska. And texted him other times. He panned for some gold in Alaska it was still icey there. So I refunded him that 10 for the pan and got him two meals on the boat. Never heard if he got it or not. I hope that Mark did not chose to end in by jumping into the Lake. I tried to get him to go to aa and he would not go. I have been sober and clean for over 43 years now one day at a time. Evan in recovery we can get depressed and want it all to end. I have been here a few times myself. Then I go and talk to other people and in time am feeling better again. I am not to do a permanate solution to a temporary problem. I had some military surpluss stuff, camping items and other things for Mark! I missed Mark and was sad for a while over his untimely departure. I prayed and had to let him go and let God take care of him during the grieving process..Bereavement is the grief and mourning experience following the death of someone important to you. While it's an inevitable part of life-something that virtually all of us go through at some point-losing someone you love can be one of the most painful experiences you'll ever have to endure. I missed Mark when he first went missing. Evan though he always let me know that Larry would be helping him out. Paul in Ohio

@@lawrencechristopher3830 May Shoestring RIP. I am just saying a Hobo is someone who rides the rails looking for employment. Shoestring rode the rails to get from place to place. That is a tramp. He was a nice guy. Not bad mouthing, but stating a fact.
I appreciate seeing you two together, you were a good friend to him. I thought the video of him heading towards the tracks was especially poignant ❤❤❤❤.
