Chris Kane

Dearest Eve, Hilary and Ben, I ran into Chris at Environmental events from time to time and just today planned to contact him to see if a group I lead on Mirror Lake could engage his services. Please accept my deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad and partner. Of course I knew him mostly through Conant and he was one of the kindest, most supportive fathers, in a group of truly caring people. In his presence the calmest he projected, and his wonderful smile and thoughtful viewpoints were...

Chris was such a good man, and my UMaine softball buddy. He would always bring his dog Otis, who we all loved. I will continue to miss his kind demeanor and friendship. Rest in peace my friend!

Hi Eve and family. I only recently learned that Chris has been given his angel wings. I send my deepest sympathies to you and your entire family. In honor of Chris, a truly wonderful human being and artist!! I recall the adventure of driving to the Aspen music festival with Chris, and meeting you both in Burlington in our younger days! Chris added so much joy to life and was a deeply kind, gentle person. I miss his presence among us all. My prayers to you. Laura

Chris was someone I feel very fortunate to have known and shared good times with. Our paths crossed as a result of our mutual enthusiasm for old trees and old growth forests and we had exciting excursions to places where we looked for wild forests and rare plants.
