by billski Tue May 05, 2015 4:23 amIt was a year ago today I received word that Chris "G-Man" Hatswell passed away at 3:15 in the morning. I know we all miss him but I just had to post to remind everyone how quickly time passes by and how short life can be. Dedicate a moment of silence today for Chris, or if you prefer, rev that van motor one extra time today in his memory. And while you're at it give out one extra hug or handshake - you never know if you'll have that opportunity again. Thanks to everyone who has helped keep G-Man's dedication to vanning going strong. And I look forward to seeing many of you at Baker's to honor Chris.
