Default Dick Spadaro Tribute
Thought you guys would like to read this. As all of us know, Dick was one fine guy and will be missed personally and by the hobby.

Have enjoyed buying several parts off Dick , as always a true man to his word , information 100% correct , the world needs more honest guys like Dick. Ask a question and you knew the answer was right on the money. RIP good guy.

Always the gentleman and a kind soul. Gone too soon but always remembered with a smile.

Like the Flyer said, "Price is important, but experience counts more".

A spot on the garage wall next to my 39 pickup, were a lot of answered restoration related questions and parts replaced from Dick over the years.

For those who were unable to attend Dick's funeral service today, I thought that you might appreciate reading the tribute his Mother wrote.
