Christopher E. Hanke

Always enjoyed Chris and Laurie at all the GTO events.
Our Love to Laurie.
Russ and Leslie Sorge

I was shocked to hear that Chris passed away. He and Laurie have been my friends for 25 years and we enjoyed many good times together. Even though I haven't seen Chris for a few years, I will miss him. May he rest in peace.

Stacy & I met Chris & Laurie in the parking lot at a car show in Wayne, NJ in 1995 and we instantly bonded, being we have the same GTO as he (well it was his mom's car at that time.. lol). We became real close. Chris was a past president of the Garden State GTO in North Jersey and he was always a go-getter making the club the best it could be. The passion he had for the club was incredible..! Our trip to Atlanta Ga for the GTOAA convention in 1997 was adventurous with Bob Moore and his 2 sons. As life goes on, we grew apart due to me moving to Pa, but anytime we spoke on the phone, it seems like where we left off, not missing a beat. We will certainly miss the friendship we had and will always remember the fun times at car shows, and at our car club Christmas parties. Rest in peace Chris...
