Folks Of Interest RIP Hamtown Al

Found out today that Hamtown Al left us on Sept. 15th. I talked to him on 29 August, and he was holding his own. Besides his family, Al loved his cars, ice cream, and his dog Ringer. RIP my friend.

 

RIP

 

Oh, that is soooo sad to hear. Always liked his threads, input, stories and his love for ice cream. RIP sir. Ice cream in heaven has no calories I hear. Eat it up.

 

I just looked up his profile and looks at his website.http://www.36fords.com/ I thought I'd seen his chopped '39 Chevy before so I clicked the link and sure enough.

 

I will miss Al. Always fun to chat with.

AND, as promised, he bought me ice cream when I visited Smithfield.

 

oh my.....the list is getting too long...RIP Al......enjoyed our trip and all the chatter afterwards....
good shots thru the windshield as you travel and I'll look for you down the road....in an ice cream shop of course

 

RIP !!

 

Sorry to hear this, always enjoyed his posts as well. RIP Al.

 

Dang. This is really sad. I hope he’ll find an opportunity in the next round.
@hotrodjack33 , please send condolences to his family.

 

RIP…….wishing him Godspeed.

 

Well crap.
Loved his input
condolences to his family and friends

 

Oh my. I am completely blind-sided by this news. Always, always enjoyed his posts and his love for ice cream. I'm still in shock. God speed my friend.

 

I met Al’s son earlier this year ( he was repairing my well pump) and he saw the Model A while doing it. Well, of course he asked if I knew his Dad and I said, “who is that?” Finally, the light came on and I said , “Yes, Hamtown Al!” We talked about his Dad as he worked and he was telling me about taking him to his treatments. As he left, I told him , “ Say hi to your Dad and I wish him the Best!” I spoke with Al one time, quite a Character. Farewell, Al

 

Funny how things work, just last night I had checked his last visit here and was concerned when it was Sept. 14th.
Godspeed Al, you will be missed here.

 

Oh no! That’s a punch in the gut.
Talked to him several times about 40 pickups, and he was always the polite, cordial Southern gentleman.
I’ve lusted after his 32 Cabriolet since he brought it home .
Rest in Peace, Sir. May God comfort your loved ones with their loss.
“Ice cream is good!”
“Another opportunity”

 

My condolences to his family & friends.
