Christopher Julian Bechard

Dearest Chris~ How I wished we could have talked and laughed together one more time. Even though we haven't seen each other for a bunch years, I knew it would be just like we saw each other yesterday. Since we were kids in Waterville (how many miles did we walk, anyhow?) you have had a special place in my heart; even now, writing this, a sad smile comes to my face just thinking of you. And now that we're offically family (your brother & my sister: can you believe they got married after all...

Dear Pennie & Luke,
I just finished watching the pictures of your wonderful family during happier times. These are the times I will always remember of my good friend and nephew, Christopher. What a terrific guy. Our two visits to Kansas and your visits to Colorado stand out among our fondest memories. We had such wonderful times when we were together. You are such great hosts. Visiting the museum in Hutchinson and then going to your favorite BBQ place where everyone welcomed us as your...

Penny,

My deepest sympathy to you....

I can remember fondly the many times you &

Luke & Chris were at the "late shift" at the Cathedral on Sunday nights,

how Chris loved to sing.... & the obvious GRACE that you all shared.

Mgrs. Bud Fiedler & Chris are greeting one another right now again....

I shall remember Chris in my prayers as I make music for Bud's funeral tomorrow.

And, of course, you & Luke will be in my prayers as well.

Pennie and Luke,
We are so sorry to hear about Chris. Please accept our heartfelt sympathy. Our hearts are full of love, prayers and hope for you and Luke during this difficult time. Lots of love, Susie and John Ludwikoski

Dear Penny, Luke & all of Chris's Family,
Please accept my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I worked Chris since he first joined the BUCON sales team. Chris was a very dedicated and passionate person to work with and he will be sorely missed. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Pennie & Luke
I first met Chris on the phone when he drove a Butler company car as I am the administrator of the company vehicles. He was always so nice and friendly. Later when he came to K.C. his office was next to mine for a while. He was without a doubt a very friendly person. When he talked about you and Luke you could tell he was very proud of both of you. You have my deepest sympathies and prayers to you and the Bechard family. Chris will be missed but not forgotten. He is so very...

Pennie and Luke--I'm so sorry to hear about Chris's death. I know he loved you both very much--he talked about you a lot here at Butler. My prayers are with you.

Pennie and Luke:
Pennie, I was so saddened to hear about Chris. It was a pleasure to teach with you in Hutch. I will always remember Chris giving me a hard time about being a Bronco's fan! May you find peace in the Lord's guiding hands at this difficult time. My thoughts and prayers to you and your wonderful son. God Bless, Lynette Pelischek
