Default Passing of a member

Hello PY crowd. With a heavy heart like to inform that CNC Chris has passed away on Sunday the 18 th. Chris was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer . He wasn’t feeling well losing weight in July , I told him to get checked out something wasn’t right. He was booked in for a scan late September. The diagnosis came back and treatment started right away. He was having reactions to it . So another plan was starting and he was worse. He degraded so fast . I went often to see him. We talked about our ponchos and all the events we attended including twice to Norwalk. I contacted Chris on this site because of being close by and eventually meeting Ernie TA man. Chris and I became extremely close friends along with our wives. We constantly were together and did some travelling . He just projected a sense of calm and wisdom. I introduced him to many of my friends and instantly was liked . . I’m going to miss his advice laughter and friendship . Tears again..RIP buddy……

I met Chris in 2012 when I sold him a hood for his car

Been friends ever since.

He let me know what was going on, I felt helpless, I last chatted with him on New years

Here’s him on the right at Norwalk with Torquewar

Very sorry to learn of Chris' passing. Way too young...
I had the pleasure of meeting him several times and when in London, I'd drop off parts to him at the dealership garage where he worked.
He will be missed

My heart goes out to Chris's family and my friend Andy. Many a good time spent at the dragstrip over the years.

Oh my goodness.......
I've followed most of what he was up to, him having a firebird.
His car was not as fast as Andy or Ernies, it sure was not slow though...

We are all heartbeat away from heaven or hell. Every minute counts.
Lord I pray strength and comfort to all those in need!!! Amen!!!

Never had a chance to meet him wish we’d known what was going on , I’d have told him about Fenbendazole - joe tppens protocol - check it out maybe it’ll help the next person. There’s actually a lot of testing that was previously done with it if you search it.
I know 2 people that used this that weren’t doing well previously . And had good succes with this protocol. Has to be taken a certain way or it doesn’t work well isn’t absorbed.

Sometimes it’s worth trying something else. There’s also a good book called “I used to have cancer”. Oddly enough what they did in that book is very similar to what Joe tippens did but got there a different way an all natural way vs prescription medication

Sounds like CNC Chris was a good guy shared a love for the sake things many of us do. Very sad to hear we lost another Pontiac brother.
