Not sure what to say?

Chris was my boss when I first started working for Tanana Chiefs in 1979. Steady friend ever since. Loved his sense of humor.

Chris was a good man and I good friend that it as an honor getting to know through our mutual involvement in a 12th Step Program. Some of my fondest memories were the times spent with Chris and a few other mutual friends over breakfast at the Diner on Minnie Street. To the family, please accept my heartfelt condolences and prayers.

Well Chris, your sharp wit and great humor will be missed by all who call you "friend". Since King's Lake summer camps during the obscure years in the early 60s through high school and adult life we had the best of times. Rest easy my friend until we meet again.

Chris was a good friend and helper to us back in the days when Milton Moses Jr. and I were working in CHris' dad's garage at Johnny's Express, rebuilding and learning to handle the "Wild Savage" river raceboat. As he grew up and became a leader in the community, Chris remained a friend always. It is sad to see him depart, but sounds like he and his dad will still be looking over the valley and watching the rivers as we all race on into the future . . .

Chris helped me when I really needed it. I owe him eternally. Was blessed to rent a room from him off Minnie Street and to hang out with Unci Olive. Swift Journey friend.

I was saddened to hear about Chris' passing today. He was a mentor to me in my early years as a youth representative on the FNA Board of Directors. Very kind, easy going person. My condolences and prayers go out to Chris' family during this time. Rest in Paradise Chris.

I'm sad with Chris' passing but happy that he is with his beloved Irma again. I was thrilled with the honor of performing their marriage ceremony after they returned home from Peru. He was a good friend and colleague, working together on many community events and several endeavors over the years. Rest in Peace, my friend.

My Dad, Chris, has recently been expressing how much joy he has had in life! He had many dreams to continue to chase and, I'm sure, many hamburgers to eat, too! The picture is from last year. Much love and gratitude to our cousins, the healthcare team at TCC and CAI, Meals on Wheels (Bob!), and the FPD.

Rest well, Chris. I'm glad I got to know you 50 years ago. Thank you for your support and work to our fellow journeyers. My condolences to his family and many friends.
