James Crawford the pinstripper

God bless Mr Crawford, we will be toasting in his honor tonight.

 

I received a call earlier today letting me know Mr. Crawford has passed this morning. He was always nice to us young guns back in the day & thus I've held much respect for him since.

His family & close friends are in my thoughts.
My sincerest condolences....

I have a car we are working on here in the shop that will need striping. I mentioned this if front of a couple guys the other day and they both instantly said get James Crawford he is the best around. Neither of them knew about his health issues. I had planned to have James letter my fairlane when I got it painted. Sadly that never happend. His talent and friendship will be missed by many.

 

Sad to hear the news. God speed Mr. Crawford.

If you met the man you would never forget him. I never talked with him without having a smile on my face. He was one of the first people in the community I met 11 yrs ago. I am a better person for knowing him.

 

Our buddy Terry Box is the automotive writer the Dallas Morning News. He did a cool write up on James in the paper this morning. Check out the link.

That was a great read about a great man, thanks.

 

Great article! I only hope I can touch half as many lives as he did.

 

Saw James' Merc again yesterday, finally parted the crowd enough to get a pic. Figured I'd post this for those who have never seen it. Also noticed some of his work around the show.
