    I'm going to miss him, he was a welth of knowledge and a really nice guy. I'll think of him every time I look at the '32 headlight bar on the Roadster, got it from him a few years ago. Bob

    Another light has gone out and so the world has now become a less brighter place. Godspeed Mr. Spadaro!

    I offer my deepest, heartfelt condolences to the Spadaro family. I will be praying for you all in your time of loss.

    This is such sad news. More so as he will be so missed by all who knew him. There will be a lot of sad faces at the Rhinebeck show this weekend, he was such a big part of this scene for so many years. I for one will miss him dearly. Semper Fi.

    Sad news, indeed. A great man, admired and respected by many. One of the hobby's brightest lights has gone out.

    He will be missed by all who knew him. He was an inspiration for those of us who needed the right part that would complete our project. I still have the Deuce grille shell I purchased from him at the Amherst swap meet in 1979. I kept in touch with him all these years as he was the one with the "correct answer". My condolences to the family…
