I bought some parts a year or two ago from Gary. Nice fellow. I could never understand why he used Partridgekelley as his Fordbarn user ID. Sorry to see another model A fellow passing away - RIP Gary. We are all getting older, so we unfortunately will see more of this happening.

Gary and I grew up in the same town,Fort Bragg, Cal. were in the class of 1963 together and acquired our first models A's the same year 1959. He kept his 29 pick-up and drove it up until he passed a couple of days ago. Gary was an amazing resource and friend for all of us with model A's. Not only for parts but for help and advice anytime and all the time. He was the nucleus for all of us on the coast with model a's. My heart goes out to his wife, Betty, his kids and grandkids. There will never be another Gary Partridge. It was an honor to have know him, Bill

This is Gary's daughter Nikki. Just wanted to say thank you for your kind words and thoughts. My mom, Model A's and his dogs were his everything. He was a really great man and we miss him dearly.
An obituary will be in the local Thursdays paper and services sometime next weekend.

A gentleman in every sense of the word! I have had pleasant e-mail chats with him, several years ago I had a AA radiator for sale, he said let me know the shipping charges, which I did, a few days later he replied, sorry Brian, I have been told I have to sell some parts before buying anymore, I thought that was a neat reply, ----- Gary you will be missed.
