Not sure what to say?

Many memories of working with Chris at St. Charles Emergency. I loved working with Chris. One funny thing, he was so tall and I am short. I would ask him to sit down to talk with me. He was such a gentleman that he didn’t want to sit while I was standing. I told him he hurt my neck from looking up so far ! We had great fun about our height difference. A wonderful man and doctor. Peace to his family and friends.

I had the honor of knowing Chris in junior high and high school. In fact we had several classes together including 7th and 8th grade Spanish. Having just moved from Little Rock Arkansas to Saint Louis at the start of 7th grade I did not know anyone at parkway central junior high. Chris was nice enough to befriend me and introduce me to his friends as well. I will always remember him as a warm and compassionate person with a great sense of humor. I was very saddened to hear of his passing....

To the family of Dr. Bosche,
I lost my brother in the south tower on 9 11. John Patrick Hart was 32 years young at the time. Thank you Dr. Bosche for all your service. I am sure John was there to greet you and thank you. God bless.

Carol, I just heard about your son Chris. I felt so said as I knew he had to be a wonderful doctor just like his dad. Dr. Bosche elder was my doctor along with taking care of my daughters during their pregnancy. So sorry for Chris passing but he is in God's hands. God bless all of the Bosche family at this sorrowful time.

Dear Carol & Tim-I remember Chris when he was a student @ Shenandoah Valley; I was a school nurse @ the time. I extend my sympathy for your loss. He was outstanding.
Warmly
Mandy Rubenstein

Dr. Bosche taught me a lot during my time in the ER. He was an absolute pleasure to work with. My thoughts and prayers extend to his entire family during this difficult time.

My scincerest condolances to your family. Chris was a true American hero whose fond memories will never fade from the so many he touched. I'm sure God has a special place for him.
