Chris Wertman RIP - Page 12

After reading all the everyone has said on here and to me in private, this quote seems to apply.

One exemplary act may affect one life, or even millions of lives. All those who set standards for themselves, who strengthen the bonds of community, who do their work creditably and accept individual responsibility, are building the common future.

If a man is judged by his passion, he was a giant---truly inspirational. My deepest condolances to his family, his friends and to all who followed his posts. Many people pass through our lives--I"m sorry I missed him.
Godspeed Chris RIP JOHN

My deepest condolences to his family;

I keep trying to write something but then find I can't finish it.
Even though I don't know Chris, his family or friends I followed along here on the forum reading all of his posts. I took from them the inspiration to keep going on my stocker project even when I became discouraged because of the lack of time and money.
I will miss his determination and self confidence. RIP

Unbelievable.....I just don't believe this whole deal. I was so looking forward to meeting him at one of our races and talking to him for an unlimited amount of time! RIP my friend and I hope to have that conversation someday at the nicest drag strip ever built.

Rick Blake · 08-03-2010, 05:36 PM

OMG....even though I didn't know Chris I have always enjoyed his posts and would have loved to have been able to meet up with him.

Chris to your family, please accept my most heartfelt condolences...R.I.P.

Rick Bailey · 08-03-2010, 06:18 PM

Wow, I am so shocked............I never meet the man, but read most of the post he was involved in and just had to wonder "just where did this dude come from" his wit was awsome. And as of late, he was asking about super class racing.....My jest was "Oh boy" here comes "Drooze" lol lol . But I can't help but think we are going to miss "The Drooze" no matter what class he would have been in.

He has touched so many people on this site, and in racing in such a very short time.

Drooze, you are "Way Cool"

Late to notice this. God speed Drooze!

Passed a couple emails with him off board. For those that met him, he had to be character. It's people like him that make hobbies the adventures they always are.

Yes. Shocking.
Care and concern to family.

RIP
