Does anyone have any contact info on him?

Krylon32 · 01-29-2018, 09:19 PM

Last time I talked to him I think he was moving to Florida to be near some family. He just disappeared.

raybee · 01-29-2018, 09:22 PM

That is the last that I heard also.

flathead48 · 01-30-2018, 06:50 AM

He told me he was moving into the Bradenton, Fl. area.

32phil · 01-30-2018, 09:55 AM

I thought it was somewhere in the Carolinas.
He was going to work for a Company involved with the stock car races (maybe Charlotte?)
His son worked for them.
Bill was going to be in charge of parts inventory etc.
I used to have his cell #.....can't find it now.

PM me and I can do a search for him .... can start in FL and Carolina's. Would need last name, approximate age, what city he formerly lived in, if he had a son what the son's name is. Land line phone numbers not hard to find but cell numbers may be inaccessible without paying site fees, hard to access. Anything helps.

raybee · 01-30-2018, 11:16 AM

I never knew his last name.

Tony, NY · 01-30-2018, 11:40 AM

Thru all the years of visiting the store, I never got his last name. Excellent to deal with. Also remember him saying going south where his son was.

FireEngineMike · 01-30-2018, 02:20 PM

I am a newcomer to the hobby and dealt with Bill only a couple of times. But he became my standard of excellence. I expected that everyone should be as friendly and helpful. I have met a couple of people that measured up (James at job lot and Joe at Joe's Antiques) and wish that there were more as good as Bill.

DavidG · 01-30-2018, 02:28 PM

I agree with FireEngineMike, Bill (and my good friend Dick) were in a class by themselves.

OLDTINDEALER · 01-31-2018, 09:42 PM

William Hoellerich. Works at the same company that his son does. I believe the company owns the monster trucks among other things. The only person I know who he has maintained any contact with is Frank Spadaro, Dick's cousin. Had to dig his old business card out of the boxes of cards I got from Dick's. Couldn't remember the proper spelling of his last name. I estimate I have 10,000 cards, names and leads in the 3 boxes and Rolodex's so it's was amazing I found the card!

Dang! I love the business cards.

Not guaranteed but I find:

William R. Hoellerrich
6308 Rock Creek Circle
Ellenton FL 34222
(518) 477-6564 (apparently still using a cell number based on a NY State area code ... when dialing, include the "518" regardless of where you are calling from)

raybee · 02-02-2018, 01:49 PM

Thanks guys for all the help. I tried the number, but was no longer in service .I will drop him a note to that address and see if that is good. Ray

OLDTINDEALER · 02-02-2018, 10:38 PM

477 prefix is a landline based in East Greenbush Ny (where Bill Lived). Thatis his old home phone.

DavidG · 02-03-2018, 12:17 AM

I had a great ride with Dick in that coupe from Saratoga Springs to Altamont and back to Saratoga Springs in his '32 pickup.

Bonus Built Acres · 02-22-2019, 06:46 PM

Anybody connect with Dick? I was looking to buy a early 3 bolt to 2 bolt distributor adapter from him. his website still shows them.
I realize I can just order from Speedway but figured I would buy from someone here first if possible.

Thanks
