We all have special people in our lives, today is a day to memorialize one and say good bye to another, both fellow Pelicans Chris Bennet and Johan Carnell.
Chris passed away August 2, 2022 and Johan's son just posted on one of his current build threads,
Sweet Transplant, that that he left us last Monday.
Both men were amazing people in so many ways across the spectrum of what it means to be human. It was an honor to know them both. Chris was a best friend living in Nashua. He was pathologically happy who always saw the best in people and you were a better person, you wanted and tried to be a better person, just by knowing him. He had more friends, real friends, than you could count. So many Sunday nights every month over the years were treasures, a group of us going to dinner and a movie. I miss those. Johan lived in Ontario and it was always a joy to see him and his wife at Hershey, in better days gone by and talk via email and on the forums over the last 11+ years. One of many long distance friends I wish I lived closer to.
A few pics of Chris, old pics of Johan at Hershey lost in a computer upgrade sad to say, a random one in his honor.
Live for today and don't forget what's important in life.
