Larry,
I never had the honor of meeting Chris, but have had dealings with him on TG, and was always on the lookout for his posts. He was a man of great honor and generosity. I ride a bike also, all year round, and these last few days since the tragic news he has been on my mind every time I hit the starter button. His Spirit lives on, in everyone here. I also will be sending one of my cedar arrows skyward in his honor.
God Bless you and your family Sir, and may He comfort you all in this time of terrible trial. You will be in my Prayers.
