I've known **** for about 40 years, way back when he was a school teacher. he came a long way since then. the last time we spoke, he paid me a great complement, and coming from ****, it was very uplifting. it is sad when we see these things happen to our friends. myself and my family are hoping for the best for ****.
Sorry to read all this. I have only known him through the posts on here and Fordbarn. I have much respect for him and pray for the best for him and his family. Neal
I briefly met **** at Charlotte Autofair and spoke with him. He was willingly helpful and seemed to know so much about these old cars. Probably forgot more than I will ever know. Prayers for a recovery..
**** is certainly one of the Icons in this hobby. When I heard about this today I was blown away I hope and pray he pulls threw. I always enjoy talking with him each fall at Hershey he always stops by to see what we have on the tables for sale. God this ****s for sure!
I met **** once. The gentleman that he is, he went out of his way to help me out. My Prayers are with him.
****, I hope you pull through and get around to reading these. You are one the of the most respected men in this hobby. My prayers are with you. Bruce in Saugerties
Does anyone have any updates on how **** is doing? I haven't been able to find out anything in the last day or so?
Just got the word **** was admitted to Albany Medical Hospital with with a brain tumor. Very sad news......
I've never met him personally, but have talked to him on the phone in the past...Prayers to Mr....hoping for the best!
Dealt with **** for many years when I worked at Specialized Auto Parts in Houston. A great customer and a very knowledgable Ford man with a heart of gold. First met him at the NSRA Nats in St. Paul MN many years ago. I needed a pair of door garnish mouldings for a 32 5W. He also had with him a couple pairs of 1/4 window mouldings and a back gl*** mouldings. He handed me the better set of 1/4 mouldings. While he was digging out the others I mentioned the car was chopped. He got out the other pieces and took the 1/4 mouldings from me, reached by in the trailer and pulled out the lesser set and gave them to me. He said "Sorry, I can't sell those nice ones to you for a chopped car, these will do you fine." I laughed and said "You have my respect. I would have done the same thing." God bless you, **** Spadaro, and may His blessings fall on your family and great army of friends as well.
Prayers for ****. Didn't know him well but was always willing to help me and always had the right answer. Great guy !!!
Hoping for a speedy recovery for ****. We once had a conversation on this forum, handled very well i felt. He was in the neighboring booth in Bldg. 9 @ GNRS 2011. We struck up a conversation over both of our respective products. Again, very good. I wish him well and hope that he's able to see all of the comments from all of us who are more than customers/compe***ors, but extended family.
Talked to **** at Charlotte last year and he gave me a run down on how to shorten a torque tube and the correct ones to use. Super Guy and very important to our hobby. Thoughts and Prayers for you ****.
