Prior Passarino

Does anyone know how to reach him? He was from California the last time I heard from him. He was an early NNL member and with the Last NNL Nationals homecoming scheduled for this October I would like to reach out to him.

Pryor still lives in the Santa Rosa Area, and I saw him at the Western Nationals. I don't have his contact info, but I'd bet Roy Sorenson or the GSL guys will.

Hi Tom - I just spoke with Pryor and he is very interested in hearing from you.  He doesn't do any computer stuff so if you would send your contact information to my email, I will make sure that he gets it.  He can then exchange phone numbers with you directly.  Thanks.

Sorry, you will need this:  oldrider_44@comcast.net

I emailed you my contact info about an hour ago. Let me know if you got it. Thanks.

I just did a Google search and it sais Pryor "Buzz" Passarino of Santa Rosa, CA. passed away back in 2007.

Unless there is more than one of him. IDK, but I remember a lot of his great car builds way back in the 80s.

Few posts earlier David stated that he spoke to Prior (in July 2019). That would be kind of tough if he was deceased in 2007.

I have known both David & Pryor for over 30 years. I assure you that Pryor is very much with us- he did some work on a 1:1 Model A for David last year.

Knowing Pryor's sense of humor reasonably well, don't be giving him any ideas about being a ghost.  =)

He showed up at GSL in a disguise once.

Father Guido!  He fooled everybody, especially his good friend Mark S. Gustavson. He carried on a couple of prolonged conversations with Mark, who never figured it out until Father Guido, er, Pryor, unveiled his gag!  ? It was epic.

When his employer mandated that he lose the mustache, right? I missed the first day or two of that if he came in on a Thursday, and wasn't paying attention all the way up to the time when I was already on the bus for the trip to the museum and heard this huge roar of laughter including Pryor's own trademark laugh. That's when he showed who he was to that little crowd in front of the hotel. I forget what year that was, though.
