Sorry to here this. Alzheimer's is a nasty nasty disease. My condolences to the family and all that knew him.
Nice article about Steve in Hemmings a few years back https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/steve-ames
Steve was always very fair in any dealings I had with him. His parts descriptions were always honest. He was an innovator in the aftermarket Pontiac parts field. Yes, he will be missed. Condolences to his family and many friends. KK

I have known Steve Ames for many years. He was always at the Amherst, New Hampshire flea market, wearing his ragged Levi's, and driving his rusty pickup truck. Steve went with a group of us several years ago, to the Pomona California swap meet, and bought all of the Pontiac parts that he could, and had them shipped back to New Hampshire. Steve was very successful in his Pontiac business before he sold it a few years ago. Even with his fame and fortune, Steve was still a great guy that didn't forget us less fortunate people. I always enjoyed talking with Steve, as he always treated us as equals. I, too, will miss him.
