Had the privilege of meeting him once when he was delivering wood to a mutual friends house. He lives about 5 mins from my house

He sold me a mag mount CB aerial the first one I ever used on my car

Has helped me out a few times on here

RIP Chris

Good grief what a bummer
Had great laugh with the guy on here and face ache
I bet he's reeling off some stories to him upstairs right now. Never met him but still feel I knew him.
As I'm sure he'd have agreed with me on this, Live for the day guys, tomorrow ain't here yet

I just read this about 10 minutes ago, and I just can't get my head around it.

Plank was a true member of this club, over the years we have batted ideas to each other, passing on advice from our own experiences.

He will be truly missed.
I never actually met him, but I felt as though I knew him.
Our thoughts are with his family at this sad time.

Life is so fragile,
like a candle in the wind.

Guys,

In shock, loss of a dear friend, spent some great times, not enough together but more by text and private message, modern pen pals I suppose.

When the time is right I hope you can join me in a collection/condolence card/ecard.

Will of course forward any funeral arrangements.
