Dave, I was talking to your old Merrill Lynch (I'm still here....23 years) assistant Paula and she told me about your loss. I'm so sorry, Dave and as a father of two boys I can't imagine the pain you are living with. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Chris,
I attempted to write about how much I miss you, and how I don't think I will ever understand....but I guess I used inappropriate language and it was never posted....it's kinda hard to write here, especially hold back the anger.....I love you kid

Today will be a year since you left us and I still cannot believe that you are gone. I pass the house everyday, hoping maybe it was just a mistake and that someday you will return. I think of you constantly and hope that you know how much we all love and miss you! Please watch over us, especially your Mom and Dad, as we will continue to watch over them. I will forever cherish our friendship and the many memories we have made together over the years. I will hold them close to my heart and vow to never let them go! I LOVE AND MISS YOU SO MUCH CHRIS! Until we meet again...FOREVER AND ALWAYS IN MY HEART!

Chris,
We all are thinking of you...especially today. Wish you could be in Vegas having a grand time with your family and friends. Instead you'll be forever young to us. All I can think of is you must have had very little bad karma to pay for from all your previous visits here to be taken so young...

Chris,
My beautiful little cousin, I am sorry it has taken me so long to write...almost as if I could somehow believe that you are still here, somewhere ...as long as I dont write here....sad but true. Grandma always called you the baby, the youngest of all the grandchildren, I can't even put into words how incredible it was to go from babysitting you to watching you grow into such a beautiful young man, my God Chris you were the most beautiful person I have ever had in my life, a heart of gold and a smile worth a million dollars. I don't think there was ever a time that I was home with my kids that you didn't come over, Joey called you tatoo Chris....I have the most beautiful picture of you with Lucy, I cry every time I look at it...I am holding back tears now, we have lost way to many...way too soon in our family, I will never understand why, and have stopped trying to figure it out...there are way too many why why why"s that will never be answered. PLease watch over all of us, and send your hugs as soon as you figure out how.....especially your mom and dad, you were the light of their lives. I love and miss you so much...until we meet again

Chris...we miss you and we all want you back!
The last time we saw you...you were hanging out your window at 7am yelling "bye, I love you guys!"
How we will never forget those words...which I know you said to all your friends and family on a constant basis...that is who you were...a great friend and a wonderful person who always cherished everyone in your life...we see your bright smiling face every morning and every night on our wall (remember that picture from our wedding...it is a great picture!) and we never forget to say hello...we just hope you can hear us and we WILL see you again some day!

I remember Sgt Ferrier, back in the summer of 2004 in Japan... I had just "checked" in or reported to Weapon's Company and opted to go train in Japan even though it was unnecessary for me to do so. ( I already had active duty experience for that fiscal year since I had just graduated boot camp and MOS school ) As I was new and really didn't know anyone in the unit, I was put into mess-hall facility duty. If I remember correctly, then Corporal Ferrier talked to me as a friend and as a mentor during the first few nights spent after work. I made one of my first (really really funny now but wasn't at the time) mistakes while I was there.
I lost a crucial part of a Mortar System...to be more specific, I lost a spare firing pin and what made it worst was not even counting thefact that the pin was pretty small was that it happened in a large grassy field and if it wasn't found, many marines in direct charge of me would've been in trouble... not to mention what would've been put on my service record...
I distinctly remember Sgt Ferrier telling others to "take it easy on me since I was new" and also saying something along the lines: "... how did you feel when you made YOUR first mistake?..."
In all honesty, I didn't know Sgt Ferrier well enough to talk to him on a regular basis. However, I do know from the bottom of my heart that he was an excellent marine nco. I also want to add the fact that he was VERY funny and full of life month after month when i had the chance to observe. He took on the responsility of marine leadership and tasks in a serious manner but what I liked about him the most was the fact that he was able to be distinguish between having fun and being a great marine at the same time.
*I know Sgt Ferrier will eventually read this when he takes a chow/smoke break from guarding heaven's gate and log on to the net. I hope this will bring a smile on his face*
Semper Fidelis, Sergeant!

There is someone still, who watches you,
It is he, who whispers in your ear,
Walks in the air all around you,
Willing memories to dry your tears.
There is someone still, who follows you,
Staying always so, so, near,
Holding your hand in silent assurance,
Yes, that caress upon your palm is real.
He may now belong to the breeze,
His smile no longer can be seen,
But if you listen closely enough,
That is his laughter which visits your dreams.
It is his voice which whispers,
“Thank you,” as you hold his loved ones up,
It is his gratitude which carries you,
When you have had enough.
There are no words to fulfill,
The touch of flesh.
No words can make up for the sound of a voice,
Or laughter’s warm caress.
But someone wants you to know,
He is with you still.
Do not doubt the voice he sends,
For then his essence never can be killed.
When the wind hits your hair,
And it feels like fingers tickling your scalp,
Remember it is Chris,
Reminding you he is still here to help.
He needs you to know you may not see him,
Sometimes you may not hear his words,
But if you close the chaos around you,
He is there, belonging now to all the world.

Dear Chris,
Sorry it's taken me so long to write in this. I just couldn't. Our family has lost so much already...I just can't believe it's you. I have all these flashbacks and memories from when we were little and inseparable. Why can't we have that back? We sat next to each other at Grandma's funeral, and it just seemed to calm me down. I already had you down on my guest list for my wedding. YOU were supposed to be a husband and a father. Chris, you would have been a fantastic father. It's so unfair it can't even be put into words.
I will ALWAYS Miss and Love You
Your Cousin,
Jess
This is how I will always remember you

Dear Chris,
Your constant smile and playful spirit made my teaching experience wonderful. Everyone...I mean everyone, loves you at Northwood. I remember seeing you years after your high school days, and I was amazed by how you had grown into a big man. However, your boyish grin, love of people, and your ebullience were still there. I thank you for the time I knew you back at Northwood. You will live on in my fond memories of having taught you. Your love of life will be missed, but thank you for sharing it with us.

Chris,
I don’t get it and why, why, why.
That is all that runs through my mind.
Okay now this can all go back to the way it used to be, you can come home now.
I want to hear your car come up the driveway.
I want to hear you run up the stairs calling out in that booming voice “is anybody home”? “Chris I am right here” I say.
I want you to wake up and ask me “is there anymore coffee”.
I want to see you standing at the stove making your breakfast.
I want to go to the diner with you, bagel with butter on the side, seeing you reading the sports section of Newsday.
I want to see you sitting at the computer listening to music (much too loud, and smiling), sleeping in Dads chair with your head on the arm, the phone always by your side, ringing.
The TV always on in your room, all night long. I tip toe in and shut it off.
“Chris I am doing dark wash, do you have any dirty clothes - The jeans that you wore all week?”
“Mom can I borrow $20, funds a low.”
I want go to the restaurant and share my appetizers with you.
I want to buy you a bottle of the best red wine ever made.
I want to see you do that crazy little running man dance.
I want you to listen to Beatles music with me.
I want you to tell me what movies I would enjoy and what ones I wouldn’t.
I want to hear that laugh, which could make Dad and I roll our eyes.
I want to hear you say, “Mr. Just.”
I want to hear you say, “It’s freezing in here.”
I want to hear you say don’t worry about me mom, I have always finished everything I set out to do.
Who was the girl at the cemetery who called out, “Chris we want you back!”
I will try to seek her out and kiss and hug her because she said what all of us were thinking. We want you back.
I want to see you skate again. I knew it was going to take time, but somehow I knew you would.
I want that strong bone crushing hug.
I want you to kiss my cheek with that week old beard that prickled my skin.
I want you to say “how do you like my haircut, is it too short?”
I want to see you smile.
I want you to say, “wake me up at such and such time.” I want to say “Chris wake up.”
“I’m up, I’m up,” you say.
I want to tell you those tattoos will look so different on your skin when you are 50 years old.
I want to tell you how proud I was of you and when you walked next to me I felt like
people would stare at you, not just for the way you looked, but for your easy confidence.
I want to see you as a best man, as a husband and as a father.
Chris, I want you back!
I Love You,
Mom

Abraham Lincoln once said "Live a good life. And in the end its not the years in the life, its the life in the years" Chris, you lived your life to the fullest and accomplished more things than most people do in a lifetime. I can only feel blessed to have had such a wonderful person in my life. You truly lit up the room with your smile and brought nothing but happiness to everyone who knew you!! You were always my sunshine to a cloudy day and your memory will continue to make me smile. You will be forever missed and always in my heart. Until we meet again...

Chris,
It has been a long time since we last spoke, and I apologize for not being able to see you off properly. We have walked a few miles since we were kids in the yard and it is unfortunate that we will walk a few more before we get to speak again. I want you to know that I appreciate the comfort that you brought to me in recruit training. It was good to see a familiar face during a trying time. I know that you have found peace at the end of your travels and I pray that the Lord is with your family. Chris, its time to dust off those boots and check out a rifle from the armory. The Marines at Heaven's gates have enlisted a fine Sergeant.
Save me a beer,

I'd take 40 days...
Chris Accomplished Everything He Set Out To Do!

SINCE THERE ARE NO WORDS THAT CAN EASE YOUR PAIN,I SHALL NOT TRY.IN THE FAR TOO FEW TIMES I WAS PRIVILEDGED TO BE WITH CHRIS,SINCE MARRYING INTO YOUR EXTENDED FAMILY,IT WAS ALWAYS APPARENT THAT CHRIS WAS AS GENUINE AND TRUE AS HE PRESENTED HIMSELF TO BE.THE NATURE OF THE MAN YOU RAISED IS FOUND IN VERY FEW ,FOR SURE.AS EVIDENCED THURSDAY EVE AND FRIDAY,CHRIS HAD A TREMENDOUS IMPACT ON ALL WHO MET HIM, A FACT THAT ALSO SAYS SO MUCH ABOUT THE PARENTS WHO RAISED THE BOY, THE ATHLETE,THE FRIEND,THE MARINE,THE MAN.A LIGHT SO VERY BRIGHT COULD NOT BE PUT OUT, RATHER,IT HAS BEEN MOVED TO FOREVER SHINE ON,AND WATCH OVER MOM,DAD,DAN,FAMILY AND FRIENDS.PAT AND DAVE,THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR LIGHT AND YOUR TREASURE WITH SO MANY.WITH LOVE AND PRAYER, DONALD.

Life is like an ocean,
You never know where it is going to take you
You may not know which way it will flow
The waves both huge and small
You are hit with both good and bad in life
Even though the waves crash into you
You just need to get back up and continue on
You need to take the bad and turn it into good if you could
Because if you can't,you can drown
The ocean can be very rough
Just like life at certain times
But as you accomplish tasks
You just passed over another wave
Just take a deep breath,I promise everything will be okay
You will arrive at your destiny very soon.

To the Ferrier family, my prayers are with you. I was Chris' defensive partner at Northwood School. I regret not keeping in touch with him when we went off to college. I lived many miles away from home when attending Northwood, but Chris made me feel at home. In high school Chris was not the biggest guy on the team, but he had the biggest heart. Chris was a great hockey player and a great friend. May you rest in peace. We will miss you.

We felt a need to sign this guest book even though we only knew Chris for a few hours. This past summer we had the pleasure of meeting him at Jones Beach parking lot at the Linkin Park concert. It ended up being a small world because our friend we were with knew a mutual person that Chris knew, I believe from the Marines. I remember Chris being completely shocked & had to call the person right then. We spent the whole day with him and he just had that special something. He left a great impression on us and we could tell what a decent, kind, caring wonderful person he was. We are so sorry for your loss. Just know that he left great impressions on people who barely knew him long, you raised a beautiful son.

Chris,
I will forever miss that "Million Dollar Smile" that lit up every room and every life you entered. When I picked up the phone and heard "Hey, Uncle Pete, it's Chris" all the time between us vanished like you were still that little kid in the back of my car, laughing. God, I loved that laugh! Watch over us Chris, we're gonna need it.
An amazing guy.
