Hamtown Al
 

It is with deep regret that I inform the members here that Hamtown Al passed away on Sept. 15th.
Godspeed Al, you will be missed.

My condolences to his family and friends, may he rest in peace.

RIP. Al. My sincere condolences to your family. A great guy and a friend.

I hate hearing about losing our friends ..... hoping you'll rest peacefully, Al!

Pictured BELOW is Al's rendition of a passenger car variety '36 pick-up. Appropriately, that is our own "KiWi Tony" leaning on Al's unique and well-done pick-up.

You’re too much Coopman Thanks I love it.
Hope you enjoyed my barn find hunters on Hagertys YouTube.

Re: Hamtown Al
 

Tony ..... That Hagerty piece was a GREAT video. Hell, I had to watch it twice.

Well there ya go, how’s that for the most tasteless thread hijack ever?

Re: Hamtown Al
 

I'm sorry! I looked everywhere on the internet for YOUR picture posing with Al's masterful pick-up creation. You must not have been included for that photo session.

Re: Hamtown Al
 

My comment was in no way directed at your post, I completely understand the connection AND the friendship that Tony and Al had. On the other hand if KiWinUS feels a need to shill his video then out of respect for his friend he should start a new thread. Respect, it’s as simple as that.

Re: Hamtown Al
 

Yes, most disappointing.

Re: Hamtown Al
 

Sorry to hear about Hamtown Al.

I remember his pickup with the passenger car sheetmetal. When I saw his name I realised I had not seen him post for a while.

RIP Al.

I never met the man but I sure enjoyed his comments. R.I.P. Al.

Re: Hamtown Al
 

RIP Al - he lives right across the river from me and he was one of the first car people I met when I moved to VA in ‘95. He eventually bought my red 40 ford pickup and we had many other dealings over the years. A good friend, he was always one to help out abd be a part of the solution kinda guy. We went out to the LA Roadster Show together with a group of VA guys in ‘16. As I drove my avatar out there at 70-85 mph everyone always asked what kind of flathead I was using and Al always responded with a phrase another Va rodder coined, “ a really good one!” - you will be missed my friend and I wish you God’s speed ….

Re: Hamtown Al
 

RIP Al. He was an interesting guy and I always read his postings. He handed out some good information.

Re: Hamtown Al
 

There’s an old saying I learnt way way back “ always gather all the details”
The reason I mentioned the video to Coopman is because I spoke about Al in it. It’s as simple as that. In no way would I ever be so disrespectful under these circumstances no matter what anyone thinks. Sorry for any distraction from the reason for this thread.

Tony.
