Rest In Peace Chris.

Rest in peace Chris.

I'd admired your car for a while and I'm glad I got to meet you at the bowls day. Never did it occur to me that I would never see you again.

Hey all,

Alex (Maca) and I went to Chris' workplace today and dropped off some flowers and spoke to a florist about flowers and an arrangement for the memorial service. It's a really tragic loss and I can't begin to imagine how devastated I would feel, but I think that at this sad time that if we all showed our support for Chris that his family would really appreciate it.

We chose an arrangement that we think is really nice, and got a large VW badge (a repro chrome aircooled one) which will be included in the arrangement.

We will also be getting a card which will list all the members from VWW who wish to send their condolences; so we'll need everyone's names to include on the card (it might be nice to use our actual names rather than just screen names).

We were thinking that if everyone who is coming on Saturday or who wants to contribute would be able to chip in some money towards the arrangement then it might work out pretty well. Depending on numbers it might work out to be around the $20-each mark. We need to get back to the florist with the amount for the arrangement so they can work out how big to make it.

I will make a duplicate post in the other thread about all of this too.

If everyone who wishes to send condolences can please PM Maca or I with your name then that would be greatly appreciated.

What a massive loss for family, friends and the community.
I'm in no doubt he would have gone on to do many more great things for himself and others. So it's only 19 years that he was able to contribute and build his life, we can only now imagine what he would have made of the years foregone.

RIP Chris...

Well, this had to be one of the most awful and shocking things to come back to holidays from.
For those that didn't know Chris this guy lived and breathed VWs. He worked as a VW mechanic, he actually had at least another 2 non running VR6s at his parents and the last time I saw him he had the tattoo that he wanted on his arm.
Such a shame and we really have lost a great guy who loved his cars.
Goodbye Chris.
