Larry , i write this from my office where above me on the wall hangs an elk carving from Chris.
Take solace in the fact that , even from many thousands of miles away here in Australia , his passing has shown that amongst all the stars in the heavens , a very few , even though with us for a shorter time than others , burn all the brighter.
Chris will be missed for sure but his life here will continue to resonate forever amongst those he loved , protected, helped, fought for and walked the mountain with
God Bless to you and yours in this difficult time.
