The Ford Barn

He helped me on a few projects like most of us. So kind. Never met him.

The librarian will be missed for sure. Thank you Bruce for all that you did for me and many!

I learned to admire and respect Bruce for his superior knowledge of all things early Ford when I joined Fordbarn in 2000. Whenever he posted any type of information, you just knew you could take it directly to the bank....no doubt.

Rest in peace Bruce Lancaster, you have more than earned your place in heaven with our Lord.

Bruce, as everyone has mentioned, was very generous, he freely shared his extensive and accurate knowledge of early Fords. He was also generous in other ways. When he saw my 32 roadster with an outside mirror he told me he had a correct original standard w/s post. Not only did he have one but he wanted to give it to me because it would have a better home on my roadster than on a shelf in his garage. Turns out he also had a std roadster and two std w/s posts. He gave me one and wouldn't take any thing for it. Not many people would do that, I think you can count them on one digit.

Also, no one has mentioned his voice. He had a deep voice, when he spoke, it was like listing to music, and if the conversation was about Early Fords, you were listing to some very good music.

A passionate man dedicated to researching and posting accurate facts to the many Early Ford fans that share the passion.

That is his legacy, shared knowledge, and parts, whenever needed. Credit him when you pass on the knowledge he so generously gave to us.

I can only imagine the many hours he must have spent researching to answer even mundane questions so easily asked, but not so easily answered.

Like I said. Never actually personally met face to face with the man. But Bruce online, Helped thousands with just straight information. A rudder in a sea of confusion.
