Gregg Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Sorry, just saw this post. One of the highlights of my earlier "tours" was the shop tour I did of Fred Cady's shop/house. I am still in awe not only of the work that Fred has done over the years (all by hand), but his house and shop is amazing! I am an avid architecture fan, my dad was an architect here in Hawai'i, and have been a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, and member of the foundation, for many years. Now Fred's house may not be a FLW house, but that is the first thing I thought of when I was there! I still have some of the photos that I snuck while upstairs, I only took photos of his shop for the "In The Studio" article I did on Fred Cady Decals, way back when. I have probably looked at those photos over a dozen times just in the past year or two, I love his house!!! And as for Fred, not a nicer guy will you ever meet!

Hmmm, I remember and should still have that mag with the article you did on Fred Cady's shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MG Brown Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 I read in another forum that Fred had passed away unexpectedly. I hope there is some sort of error as I saw him at a car show in the late summer-fall of 2019. Can anyone conform or deny this news?????

I just got a letter from him about some decals, was mailed 13 June. I too would like to know. @Exotics_Builder, any insight? Is Fred OK?

Exotics_Builder Posted June 22, 2020 Author Share Posted June 22, 2020 I pinged a friend who also knows Fred and he said all things are fine with him. Not sure where the story about his passing came from. Since Jim confirmed, I didn't attempt to contact Fred directly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Henderson Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I just got a small order from Fred. If you want something on the list, drop him a snail mail and see he if he has it. all in all turn around was about 2 weeks. Also "r_gravely" on ebay has genuine Cady decals, bought from him a couple times, good guy, good prices.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
