Dear Chris and familly,
There are no words to express my sympathy. I can't imagine the depth of your loss. I can only pray for God's strength to guide you and that those special moments we all have with our children remain always strong in your hearts.
Best always,
Kathy (Diaz) Tragos

Having lost a brother in a car accident while he was in college, and now having four children of my own, I can only express my deepest sympathy at your loss. It may hearten you to know that Nick touched our lives earlier this fall by hosting our son, Jeff, when he spent a night at Bowdoin. Based on his visit with Nick and other sailing team members, Jeff decided to apply early decision, and today he got his acceptance letter. This is undoubtedly just one of many ways in which Nick's impressive legacy will live on.

Enough to be deeply hurt by what happened to him.

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Barnett,
Our hearts broke for you, your family and the Bowdoin community to learn of the Nick's tragic loss. Our daughter, Shoshana, told us how close all the kids on their floor are and how each and every one of them knew they needed to come to the wake and funeral to say good bye to their friend. We pray that you will, with time, find comfort in the close friendships Nick fostered.

Mr and Mrs. Barnett:
My son spent two years in Dr. Fiveash's Latin class with Nick.
He was so upset to learn of Nick's death, and remembered him as always friendly and helpful in class, and an A student. Nick's death hurts all of us. So sorry.

I was fortunate to have an office next to Chris for many years while working at the Big Dig. Based on his photos and conversations, Chris' devotion and love for his family was very clear. This tragedy is a big loss not only for the three of you; It tears at everyone who has worried about a loved one.
