Ed was a cl*** act and a friend that will be missed. The first time I met him at the junk yard he took me home to see his private stash of cool parts. He was a character a**** characters.

 

Oh Ed, RIP old friend.

Mikey....hang in there, I just went through this a year ago.
I saw Ed and his other son down south here in October, glad I did.

 

RIP Ed,
Great guy, he will be sorely missed. Prayers go out to his family.

 

sincere sympathy goes out to his Family and friends

 

I knew both Ed Hagarty and Dave Dozier from the days we all ran at Bonneville. Both great guys, sadly both gone now. R.I.P

 

Ed was a friend... Will miss his sense of humor, (and the muffins or other snacks he always had at Turlock.)

 

Will miss seeing Ed at Car shows and Swap meets. R.I.P.

 

Sorry for the loss of your friend. Prayers for his family for strength and understanding as they go through this trial. I lost my father to cancer on this day in 1991.

 

I heard he was sick. Hate to here this. I always enjoyed going to his yard, and checking out his stuff at the Turlock Swapmeet.

 

Interesting fella. Tried to buy my Olds. Sorry to hear that he's gone. It was always fun to see him. RIP, Ed.

 

The first Hotrod I worked on was Ed's 32 Vicky in 1963 ,My Dad had a Body Shop on 23rd Street in Richmond Ca.and they were great friends, I also had my first Vehicle it was a 49 Studebaker Pickup with a Flat 6 that burned more oil than it used gas,was buying that Simas Bros. Bulk oil in the gl*** jars daily,Ed gave me a 56 Olds Engine and ****** from a Burned up 88 for my faded old red Studebaker,was a rocket off the line with that Olds and the Low rear gear ratio. He will be missed as I am sure there are a Mul***ude of stories like mine about ED and Deal Auto Wrecking

 

ED You'll be missed. RIP my friend

 

Sad to hear, as stated earlier he was a CL*** ACT. Everone is gonna miss him.......

 

Sorry to hear this. I had heard he was not well but it is still sad when it does come to p***. Met Ed about 5 years ago, was always good for a story or two. Will miss him.
