Default Dick Spadaros' Health

I saw a thread on the hamb that Dick might be in the hospital, I can't confirm it and hope I have bad information.
It sounded serious and thought you guys would want to know.
Dick, you are missed and are in my thoughts and prayers.
Get well soon, oj

From the HAMB:
"Just got a ph call from my pop. He relayed the news to me, Dick is in poor, poor health.
He is one of the guys I grew up hanging around. As a very young little man, I remember being at Amherst, or Stafford, or the V8 meets trying to help him vend out of his trailers, probably more in his way than helpful.
I still have 3 old Aurora thunderjet slot cars he gave me at the Rhinebeck swapmeet about 30yrs ago. He said if I ever sold them, to give him half of what I got for them. Well, they are some of my more prized cars for no other reason.
He has done a lot more than sell parts for all these years. He was ever the hot rodder, dirt tracker, "in the field" engineer, and business man. Just an all around good guy."

Sad, Sad news. Here's to getting better soon Dick .

Years ago when you took that long walk up to the White Field at Hershey there was Dick Spadaro the first guy you saw when you walked through the gate. I saw him many times at the NSRA shows at York. He is a very helpful man. Keep him in your prayers.

Dick has done much for this hobby, wishing him a speedy recovery! He has lots of knowledge, more than most about our old Fords. Henry would be proud of him!! Get well soon my friend.

Met Dick in person several years ago - besides what he does for our hobby, taking his time to write up clear, and precise explanations, a nicer person you could not meet. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family ....
