Cris Dale Palmer

As you noted in a recent e-mail to me that you will save a spot in your foursome for me if you get there first...I broke down with that comment. I miss you buddy and will be honored, to again, get back in your group. For now, good-by; I will carry you in my heart.

I hope that Chris' memorial services were as beautiful as the day... I was sorry to have missed them. I will always remember your house as "my friend's down the street;" it was a warm place full of love and family. Thank you for the gifts of friendship and community. May you seek what comforts you and ever love the times you shared. God bless you all.

I am so glad that my brother (John Iles) Chris & Curt were able to spend time together this past year. They were high school buddies who many years had seperated. Retirement is a good thing for having time for old, true friends.

My best memory, being a little kid sister, were of Chris & Curt SITTING under the Blueberry bushes on our farm and picking the berries into their mouths! Yum Yum. My sis & I thought Chris & Curt were the coolest .....

Hey, Chris, give our...

If there was anyone with a smile on his face and more pleasing to be around that Chris, I did't know him. It was always a pleasure being around Chris and when I knew he was playing golf in my forsome I was pleased...Thanks Chris, I'll miss you....

I too feel honored to have known and had a friend like Cris. We met in Jr. High. He used to take me to the drug store where his mom ran the soda fountian. She would make me a big tall sundae with nuts whip cream and other goodies and put a cherry on top. Cris' back with her now,smiling down on us. Jacie,at our reunion I told him about the baby snake I had in my pocket when I visited you at your mom's house. Next time I visited you your mom was telling someone about the snake that was loose it...

Chris was a great guy to work with and a lot of fun to be with. He will be missed.

Thanks for taking the time to be a friend and colleague. You explained your passion for golf, appreciation of family and we fixed the ballot box in the estimating office (this was an internal joke we always shared). Life was indeed good. Let them all know the joke of the day up there! Save me a steelhead, Harley

Although I've only known Chris for a few years I feel very fortunate I've had the opportunity. Chris has always been a positive and fun person to be around and talk with. He will be missed tremendously.

So sorry to hear about Cris. I remember him from Puyallup High. Always a smile on his face.
