Update: Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft update
I received an email from Purdy’s wife Deb this evening. Purdy ( Tim ) passed away on July 17, 2021 from complications from a heart condition. She says he loved the FordBarn and his FordBarn friends. May his soul Rest In Peace and our sincere condolences to his family. God bless him, Wayne

I’ve asked the monitors to place update on the title as I don’t know how. Wayne

Re: Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft
Hmm. That has put a dent in the day. I am thinking of his family.

Re: Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft
Sorry to hear this. Altho I have never met Tim I considered him a good friend. We had a lot of good conversations (off line) about Model As. Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed.

Re: Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft
Bad news. We have lost too many recently. I figured that had to be the explanation as to why we hadn’t heard from him.

Re: Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft
Oh no. Tom and Purdy. Two very knowledgeable people that would help anybody anytime. A big loss for the barn. I still have Purdy's brake adjusting method in my file's. God bless them both. Sorry for your loss Deb.

Re: Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft
Several years ago he left the barn for awhile….I think he tired of some feedback he got. I wrote him and mentioned how much most of us enjoyed and respected him…..so he came back and thanked me for giving him the nudge. He was so knowledgeable and experienced….a great Model A friend…..rest in peace Purdy…..

Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft
I’ll miss him as well.
Does anyone know what his Purdue Swoft name meant? Maybe pretty soft? Pretty swift? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by shew01; 03-12-2022 at 07:17 PM. |

Re: Has anyone heard from Purdy Swoft
A Fordbarn Friend, helpful, welcoming, good guy. I had a plan to stop at his place but we have really cut back on our traveling, too late now. He will stay on the 'Friends' list in my Profile.
