Christopher Lee Helms

Chris, the whole community of Tucson misses you and your spirit and talent. Thank you for a legacy of public service and support for TBG and so many institutions. -- Ford Burkhart and Carolyn Niethammer

Dear Donna, I so enjoyed getting to know Chris and you when I was pet sitting for Talulah. He was a wonderful person who immediately made me feel welcome in your home. I hope you may find comfort in the many warm memories of him. Mary Willmon

Donna and family, We are so sorry to hear of this loss. This makes me very sad that we didn't get to Tucson sooner, or send that thank you card sooner. Chris has always been a bundle of laughs to be around; the perfect blend of seriousness, intuition and sarcasm. He is as authentic as they come. May his memory be a blessing forever.

Donna, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Chris. I enjoyed working with him at ASDM and working on his copier when I was with Xerox. He was a great guy, as I am sure you know.

We just heard of Chris's passing and are so sorry. Please accept our condolences. We love you Donna.

Dear Donna and family, We were so saddened to read of Chris' passing in this morning's paper. Though we have not had the pleasure to be in your company for many, many, years, we hold such wonderful memories of the early days together in Sunnyside School District. So many cherished memories of enjoyable times shared. Chris' life was a full one with so many impressive accomplishments. Please know that we hold you close to our hearts at this sad time. May his memory be a blessing. With love...

When we bought our first Tucson home, Chris in Mo Udall's office helped speed the paperwork that had gotten bogged down in a government office move. Always grateful and appreciative of his special personality.
