As almost a year has passed, memories do not fade., the smiles & laughter you shared will last within our hearts forever. You always said we were the family you needed, with dinners, holdiays & birthdays, no matter what time day or night you were always part of our family. You always gave to others and never asked for anything in return, So I shall scatter some of your ashes from LaFortuna Waterfall in Costa Rica, as you wished. Be at peace & smile, for you will remain forever within our hearts.

It has been almost one year, I miss you so much. We shared so much together over the past several years. It has been so hard without you. I still look for you after work for those surprise visits just to say hello and to get a big hug. I miss the pizza lunch hour special in Troy we both enjoyed so much. So much has changed in such a short time, I wish you were here to share it. I think about you every single day. I talk to you all the time and I always wonder if you can hear me. My love for you will never die. I can't wait to meet up with you again and see that million dollar smile and that sparkle in your eyes and give you a huge hug !! You were one of the best parts in my life, we shared so much! I will love you forever. I hope George and Stephanie have been able to move on knowing how much you loved them both and how very proud of them you were. Bless you my true love.

My friend Chris, the many miles we traveled together, in Cordobas, CJ's, or the Powerwagon, lunches with Fred, or hanging out together afterwards, remain etched in my mind and more importantly in my soul. Farewell, my friend, you are not forgotten!

To one of my true friends,
Chris, I will always remember the good times we had, the laughter and the smiles. We were young and inexperienced at life, we had the best of times. I will always remember you this way.
To the family and friends you left behind I offer my deapest sympathy.

Chris... I considered you to be my best friend in High School. We drifted apart in our College years, as did so many of our other classmates at the Academy. I am sorry for that and wish I could have stayed in New York for the remainder of my years. My best wishes to your ex and family in the coming days. Your friend,
Thomas Aldrich (class of 74)

Stephanie,George, Layne and Jeanne,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad and Brother, and our friend Chris. He always greeted us with a smile, whether we saw him at church or in the community. He always took the time to ask about my dad in recent years, and to remember the long-lasting friendship that our parents had shared.
We hope that he will rest in peace, and that you will take comfort in knowing what a kind man he truly was.
Our sympathies are with you.
