Chad has been a very dear friend of mine for many years. I will always remember his wry smile and candid commentary that never failed to make me laugh. He never let me live down using the word splooches in my PhD thesis defense and I can still hear him laughing about it now. I will miss you and our friendship my friend and will hold my memory of you close to my heart.

My condolences, I met Chad in Salt Lake City. Chad always had an interesting prospective on the events of the day, whatever they were. Smart and a great conversationalist, Chad was an inspiration and always make me smile.
I am glad I got to know him.
