    Ed was a class act and a friend that will be missed. The first time I met him at the junk yard he took me home to see his private stash of cool parts. He was a character among characters.

    I knew both Ed Hagarty and Dave Dozier from the days we all ran at Bonneville. Both great guys, sadly both gone now. R.I.P

    Ed was a friend... Will miss his sense of humor, (and the muffins or other snacks he always had at Turlock.)

    Will miss seeing Ed at Car shows and Swap meets. R.I.P.
     
  11. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Prayers for his family for strength and understanding as they go through this trial. I lost my father to cancer on this day in 1991.
     
  12. I heard he was sick. Hate to here this. I always enjoyed going to his yard, and checking out his stuff at the Turlock Swapmeet.
     
  13. Interesting fella. Tried to buy my Olds. Sorry to hear that he's gone. It was always fun to see him. RIP, Ed.

    The first Hotrod I worked on was Ed's 32 Vicky in 1963 ,My Dad had a Body Shop on 23rd Street in Richmond Ca.and they were great friends, I also had my first Vehicle it was a 49 Studebaker Pickup with a Flat 6 that burned more oil than it used gas,was buying that Simas Bros. Bulk oil in the glass jars daily,Ed gave me a 56 Olds Engine and Tranny from a Burned up 88 for my faded old red Studebaker,was a rocket off the line with that Olds and the Low rear gear ratio. He will be missed as I am sure there are a Multitude of stories like mine about ED and Deal Auto Wrecking

    Sorry to hear this. I had heard he was not well but it is still sad when it does come to pass. Met Ed about 5 years ago, was always good for a story or two. Will miss him.
