Walt Dupont
 

I have the sad task of reporting to the Fordbarn members that Walt Dupont passed away Dec. 6, 2021 at age 85. When I figured out how to post his obituary I will do so.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Boy, now that sucks . . . he was one solid Barner and contributed a LOT to this site (and our hobby in general) over many years (okay, decades!). RIP Walt, you were one of the BEST ones!

Re: Walt Dupont
 

What a loss to all of us here and of course his family. May the Lord bless and comfort them in the time of loss

Re: Walt Dupont
 

He will be missed.
I was fortunate enough to have purchased engines from him.
He was a true craftsman.
Thank You Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Breaks my heart to hear this....

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Walt was a wonderful FordBarn member. I'll forever cherish the memory of him educating a group of us who invaded is front yard on flathead oiling.

I'm new, so don't know anything about Walt DuPont. I sit at the feet of all the experts on here, learning what I can. Sad day when we hear of one of the experts passing.

My wife and I visited Walt and Rockie on our travels in the USA, he was a real gentleman , gave freely his knowledge and we became good friends, he gave lots of tips to make our flathead dragster go fast and stay together, Rockie and my wife Carol got on like a house on fire, our trips out in the sticks to meet his mates and look at old cars were good times.thank you Walt.
My thoughts are with Rockie and his family.
Rest In Peace Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

I didn't know Walt personally, but he seemed like a kind and generous person with his time, talents and knowledge sharing of our flathead Fords.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Sad news indeed! RIP Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Walt was my friend, and my hot rod is powered by a Walt DuPont flathead
A big loss to the old car family…��

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Yes, very sad news to loose a good friend, My Prayers go out to his family. We'll miss you Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Remember Walt's posts and videos will live on here to help us all with these V8s. Thank you Walt for your instructions. Newc

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Just a suggestion, when we lost a well regarded member on another forum there were some that used the legacy site to provide a tribute car show.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

RIP Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

I remember Walt being very present on the barn, very sad news. God speed and go well on your next journey.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

I met Walt probably over 10 years ago at that year’s Gathering of the Faithful in Massachusetts. We’d hear from him every year or so when he needed a part that we had. I always enjoyed sharing old Ford stuff with him. Shelly and I wish to offer our condolences to Rockie and the rest of the family.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Sad news indeed. He certainly had a lot of knowledge to share.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Walt will long be remembered here for the technical insight he so freely gave.
Godspeed Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Oh no. Like Don Rogers, I did not know him personally but have learned a lot from his postings, and especially the video of him sharing his knowledge of flathead oiling. Rest in peace Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

X2 Also a God bless and thank you to Rockie. Some years ago on two different occasions I drove up to Vermont, picked up Ron and drove us to Gardiner. We got a couple different hotel rooms and spent the days with Walt and his friend Ken and then Thursday evenings at Anslie,s. Cars and engines were discussed and life stories were shared and I got to play Walt's Martin. I'll always be grateful to Walt and Rockie. PS Walt always spoke highly of Uncle Max.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Prayers for his family and friends including all the fordbarn friends here. He will be sorely missed.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Sad news, will miss his posts. RIP Walt.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Rest in Peace Walt!!

So glad I got to meet him and his wife Rockie some years ago during a Barner's Tour of New England.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

Another trove of knowledge gone. Very sad, and I hope his family is doing OK.

Re: Walt Dupont
 

I will start that engine he built in my 40,tomorrow even tho its on jack stands, in his memory. My own way of saying so long Walt. RIP


P.S. Now to get rid of that lump in my throat.



Hope
