  7. Sad to hear this. Always enjoyed talking to Dick whenever we met. Good guy and never to busy to stop and talk. RIP
     
  8. Having known Dick for about 40 years, ( way back when he was a school teacher ) he still taught us a lot of things about early Fords and Hot Rods. he is missed today and he will always be missed. He is in a better place now.
     
  9. My condolences to his family and friends.

    Godspeed
     
  10. We had a lot of good times together over the last 40 years. he is missed today, and will be missed forever.

    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!

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

    Rest in peace Dick
     
  26. I only talked to him on the phone a few times, but that is all it takes to realize the hobby has lost a great resource. Rest in peace Dick.
     
  27. RIP buddy. Thank you for the years of help and knowledge

    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…
