    Very sad. He was a real gentleman. I went to see him a few years ago and he was most courteous.
    My condolences to his family.

    Jacques was a great man. One who was respected by all, honest, fair, and a very good friend. When Jacques, Florance, and Maryelise would come to the States, he would always stay with me. They were always a pleasure. I asked Jacques a number of years ago why he won't come to the States any more, his answer; I refuse to fly all that way with out smoking! Ah, Europeans, and the (good?) old days! Jacques, you were a true friend, and you will be missed.

    I had the pleasure to meet him and visit his collection in the basement at the time
    that Garage Francorchamps was still in Zaventem.
    He was a great man, always eager to share his passion.
    Jacques will indeed see his old friend back and they will have many discussions
    while watching us ;)

    RIP
    Condolences to his beloved ones

    Very sad to hear this news. I have met Swaters several times, the first time during FF40 in 1992 at the 'Lozenberg' premises. A few years later, I met him during the Spa Ferrari Days where he drove his 166MM barchetta around the track with his grandson on board. The last time I saw Swaters was at Ferrari 60. He looked very old at that occasion but was in good and entertaining company of mr David Piper. Two Ferrari 'dinosaurs' talking about 'then', see below.

    My condolances to his family and friends.

    RIP

    The last apostle is gone and, even before that, a great man. A very sad loss.
