Not sure what to say?

I was so saddened at the news of Chris's passing. My love to Carolyn and the kids and Naomi Rose.

Chris was a great teacher and wonderful person. I had the excellent fortune to study French with him at MSU in his early years of teaching there. He was so French! Such a treat to find in Montana... ce fut un plaisir, Chris!

Dr. Pinet had a pivotal influence on me. I took a core course from him during my early college days at MSU; he awakened my intellectual curiosity and confidence. Over the two decades since then, it has always been a pleasure to cross paths with him and Carolyn on the trails or at events. What generous, fully present people.

Chris was a great man and influenced so many in a positive and constructive way...I made his acquaintance while working at MSU...during that time when I would see him he always had a smile and a kind word...his kind of character is very rare and wonderful in the world.
