Title: Sad news
Post by: Hansk on August 13, 2014, 12:58:05 PM

With great sadness I post of the very sudden loss last weekend of long time friend and fellow vw gearhead,  Martin Douse . His friendly, easy going and often joking nature is very much missed .  A huge loss for His wife and family, close friends , the vw community and all who knew Him .

Thanks for posting.
Martin was the guy we drag raced with, ice raced with, go karted with, went on how many Califormia trips with?
He was the Santa to our kids at Christmas for many years.
I will , we will miss him so much.
Martin R.I.P. my friend.
