Tragic death for Bluepower family

[russellw]

It is with deep sadness that we announce the loss of Ben, the younger brother and best friend of Chris.

Ben was born 4th September, 1978 and died 18th January 2014 aged 35.

Ben was part of a family business with his brother Chris owning and operating Bluepower racing developments, father Bill owning Northern Diffs and son/brother Ben managing Trans Diff in Bayswater.

At forum drag meets Ben was a regular supporter/ driver and partier at the BPR shed at Heathcote.

The impact on the family in losing their youngest member is unimaginable.

We would ask that all of good friends and customers of Bluepower respect that this will have an impact on their booking schedule and to please be patient.

On the day of the funeral Bluepower will naturally be closed. The exact date is yet to be determined but will be advised via this thread.

The family; father Bill, mother Heather, brother Chris and sister Michelle and their respective families wish us to pass on their thanks to all the forum people who have already made contact and shared support.

It is times like this that we are reminded how fragile life is and our thoughts and best wishes go out to Chris and the rest of the family.
