Like all of you here, Chris has been at the front of my mind since I heard the news this morning. There is a real ache in my heart today, and I know it helps me to be able to see that I am not alone in my pain. I am sure it is some comfort to Larry and the family as well.
Chris was a very special man, and it is obvious from reading every single one of these posts how many lives he has touched, either in person sharing a camp, buying, selling and trading, or his always thoughtful and insightful posts here.
As I thought of Chris all day, I felt so bad for the things he will miss. I know how much he was looking forward retiring next year and having even more time to spend doing the things he loved so much, with people that he truly loved.
When I really think about it though, Chris was a very lucky man, and got everything there was to get out of the time he had with us here on earth. He had the well earned respect of everyone he came in contact with, and will live on in our memories with honor and admiration. We should all hope to be so fortunate.
I regret that I was only able to share one precious camp with him, but I am forever thankful that I at least have that one to remember him by.
Farewell my friend. I am proud to have known you.
