On Monday 5/20/2019, Randy Conner passed away. For those of you that did not know him, he was an avid 1957 Ford collector and probably the most knowledgible person I have ever known on the 1957 Ford. He helped so many people (including me) with locating hard to find parts and cars.
Here is a link to his obituary. If you were a friend, or just knew him, please take a moment to offer comfort to his family.

Had been in touch with Randy several times and he was always trying to help out with information and parts. Quite a character with his racing habits and love of old Fords. Now I will cherish the parts I got from him even more. RIP Randy !
Jay is currently having difficulties with his computer, so he asked me to post this :
Quote from: Ecode70D JayRandy was a real serious Ford person .
He especially loved 57 Ford's and Y blocks. It would be impossible to count all the people that he touched in some way during his lifetime. We were in touch by email , but he never mentioned that he was ill.
Now l will remember him when l look around and the things that came from him.
Rest in peace Randy and God bless his wife and family. Jay Arrow
Was at his cabin deep in the woods a couple of times. He was a great 57 Ford guy! Circle burned in a 57, did very well, couple of championships. His house was a true work of art. If there ever was an E-code expert it was him. Fun, interesting, and always the gracious host. Always willing to sell/share parts, truly interested in your success with your project and willing to help in any way. Just a real nice guy! My condolences to Midge and family.
Randy was a great guy to talk to and he was always willing to help. Such a talented person and he did so much to promote '57 Fords. I will miss Randy.
Never met or spoke with the man,.. but I have heard his name over and over again from so many people.All Wonderful things.That in itself is a testament.
R.I.P.
I met Randy on line four years ago after I got my 57. He was a lot of help to me and became a good on-line friend. We would converse back and forth about different cars , family ,the weather ect. I will miss him.
My teenage son and I went up to visit Randy a year ago and had an absolute ball. His grandson Reid is a '57 enthusiast as well; and he and my son really hit it off. Our condolences to Reid and the rest of Randy's family.
In honor of Randy, I picked some of the pics he sent me over the past few years. I think you guys will like it and I hope this is how Randy would have wanted to be remembered. Godspeed !
