Thanks for being such an inspiration Chris. Math will never be the same without you, especially without your jokes and terrible spelling. Goodbye my friend.

I remember friendly debates with Chris in the employee lounge at Kish, I am sure he will be missed. So sorry for your loss - Claudette Bettner

Chris was a great colleague who was always funny--even when he was being cynical. I was often embarrassed to admit that he knew more about Greek philosophy than I do--Chris sure had an admiration for Pythagoras! And I must join Bob Hickey in saying that I'm going to miss Chris' brave willingness to flaunt his love for the St. Louis Cardinals!!!

Can't believe you're gone my friend. We had so much more to share in this life. Your friends will raise a vessel of cheer in your honor on wednesdays, whether it be at the Racines or the Hoecherls. You will be missed. Our thoughts are with your family and friends at this most difficult time.

Chris's ofice faced mine and we shared many discussions across the hallway. I and the department will miss him. More importantly, his students will miss him. More than a few of his students have stopped by the office or have called me expressing their grief. One informed me that he was considering dropping out of college, but Chris took an interest in him and talked him out of it. I will miss Chris and his St. Louis Cardinal gear that he always wore after they beat the Cubs. My condolences to his family and friends.

Remember our chats on the veranda as I remember you, Chris. Always enjoyed our breaks and you. May you rest in peace. Our prayers and thoughts are with your family. I will always hold the word "fetching" dear.

Chris would greet me every morning at work with his signature, "Good Morning Sunshine!" I will miss my morning chitchat. We shared a lot and my prayers are with his family and friends right now.
