Christopher Idone

A fine gentleman! I miss his creativity.

We lost him in 2015. What a gift he was to everyone. Elegant, gracious, funny, brilliant, creative, soft-spoken, beautiful. The books he created, many of which I either published or packaged, were invariably exquisite, ambitious and packed with glorious recipes accompanied by glorious photographs. Time for them all to be republished. Will I ever stop missing him and his welcoming smile.

Chris was beautiful, elegant and innovative. we are blessed to have had him in our lives.

Five years later, I still miss you.. I re-read all the memories here just now and they ring truer than ever.

A wonderful and sweet person. He will always be in my heart. Am lucky to have had the pleasure.

I think about Christopher every time I go to the Union Square Greenmarket, every time I have an extra theater ticket, every time I make a tomato sandwich on white bread. I miss him. That feeling of loss will probably never go away.

Christopher will always be remembered by me and my children as he was a major part of our lives in Wainscott and Brasil.

In the name of Christopher's family I would like to express our sincere thanks to Jon Gilman for having made this final acknowledgement to him available, and to Lena Tabori for havng assisted Christopher with so many acts of kindness and service. Also, our thanks go out to all of his friends who shared comments, sentiments and impressions of their experiences of and with Christopher, and to those who took the opportunity to simply read what was written about him. Now the time for closure has...
