by billski Tue Apr 29, 2014 5:51 pmAs many of you know G-Man (Chris) was diagnosed with cancer about two years ago. He has done everything possible to beat that horrible disease. Unfortunately I received a call from his wife Teresa earlier today to inform me that Chris has taken a turn for the worse. I tried to be sensitive and not push for more information than she cared to share, and all I can tell you is things don't look too promising. Thoughts, prayers, well wishes should be extended to Chris and his family. I will try to keep you all updated as much as possible. Teresa said please no calls or emails at this time as Chris is not able to respond. Teresa said don't count on Chris being able to attend the Baker's Van Show, but no matter what happens Baker's must go on!!! I am forging ahead on Chris' plans to have the biggest and best show we've ever had at Baker's. That's all I know at this time. Feel free to comment or "message" me and I will respond as quickly as possible. Billski.

If anyone deserves to beat this, Chris does! He will be in our prayers. We all know how much effort he puts into Bakers every year, year-round. We all hope to see him back and well again.

Being fairly new on this site I don't know Chris well, but from my few exchanges with him…he seems like a great guy. Best Wishes for a Miracle Recovery!

Sad news indeed. Hopefully he can pull through this. I was really looking forward to going to Bakers this year and seeing him in his element. Thought and prayers to him and the family.

After attending past Baker's events and camping in Chris's yard and spending time with him I am deeply saddened to hear this latest update.
We will keep Chris and his family in our thoughts and prayers.
