On hospice. Please tell the gang goodbye for me. You can have the webpage. Tell them all thank you and goodbye. Please do not send anymore messages. Thank you
Chode

Thank you for sharing that.

We can link to that as his tribute thread.

This is what I have as his memorial. In lieu of a photo of himself, we can have something involving a F1 race car. And of course his signature purple creature that he used in nearly all of his comments.

I see his first name was Charlie?

Does anyone know his birth year, or his full name? A link to an obituary?

Charles F. Knapp

Age 70

Born 1/24/1955

There is a B & W photo of Charles with his obit but I think I’ll ping the F1 list (that Chode started) to see if they would like the F1 car on the ‘Wall’

I’ll ping CarrieHill who knew mabarker well...

Again, thank you very much.

Ben

Nothing further from mabarker1. I left 4 VMs, and no email replies either. I am assuming the worst for our Old Friend. RIP.

I have pinged the F1 list requesting their response if we should keep Chode’s photo an F1 car — I think it’s FANTASTIC!

My request to you is, if the support comes in as favorable, could you change to photo to a McLauren F1 vehicle?

Chode was a HUGE McLauren fan/supporter.

The ping post:
