Nancy, I hope you are doing well. I think about you and Chris often and the many fond memories of house boating on Lake Lanier as well as parties at Lighthouse Point. I pray you and your family are healthy and happy.

Nancy, I hope you and your family are well and happy. Chris was always a joy to be around and some of my fondest memories are of his infamous pig roasts on Lake Lanier!

Nancy,
Chris is the reason that Tom and I came from Boca to Atlanta in 1973. We thought we would never stop missing the ocean, until we purchased a houseboat the same day that Chris purchased one and never looked back. We fell in love with Lake Lanier. I will never forget the great times on Pig Island and all the New Year's Eve parties at your home. He will be missed by all that he touched. What a great life you two have created together. From no children to Grand children. Again,...

Dear Nancy and family,
Mary and I were very sad to hear your news. Chris made a very big impact in South Africa in both the work and social areas. Both his fellow IBMers and customers benefited tremendously from his skills and experience.

All of the best to you and your family in coping with the loss of...

Dear Nancy and family - So sorry to hear of Chris. We have such fond memories of you from Bryanston Johannesburg days and the many memorable times we spent together. Wishing you all strength over this difficult time.

I'm so sorry to hear this. He was a sweet patient of mine. I will miss him and Nancy coming to the hospital!
You're favorite Respiratory therapist! ;)

Chris made a huge impact on IBM South Africa during the time he and Nancy spent here but the lure of the Lake was too much to overcome.Loved and respected by all who worked with him. Fondly remember a night on his boat during a quick visit to Atlanta.
Nancy you can be proud of him

Chris is the reason my family and I relocated to Atlanta back in 1974. He told me there were no mosquito's here. The altitude was too high. He made up for that by becoming a special friend and mentor. Enjoy the memories Nancy. There were more than enough to go around for everyone. God Bless.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Chris was a great friend. We will miss him.
