KRISTOPHER D. "KRIS" TINKER

When I first met Kris it took about five seconds to recognize he was sharp, not just intellectually, but quite a snazzy dresser as well. His enthusiasm for teaching challenged me to ask questions and seek answers. In all my years of school, college included, I’d say he was one of the best teachers I’ve had. We formed an immediate bond when we discovered we both loved the English language. We’d joke and insist we weren’t verbose, we were just lexophiles at heart. Kris is already greatly...

I am so sorry for your loss. Kris was one of my favorite trainers. He taught me a lot. Just last month at class, Kris was showing me a picture of his beautiful wife and adorable son. Your family is in our prayers.

I am very sorry for your loss. You have been in our thoughts and prays every day. Kris was a great friend and colleague...He will be missed...

Kris was a true professional and it was obvious that he loved everything about training. He told me many times that he had his dream job and it showed. We used to joke about needing a dictionary to understand his e-mails and I was always amazed by his command of the English language. I'll miss those e-mails, his sense of humor, his extensive research on all topics and most of all, his friendship. We are all better because of Kris.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Kris' passing. I had the pleasure of working with him in developing and teaching courses through Claim University. He was a very bright and engaging mentor to many people in our company. He will be deeply missed. My thoughts and prayers are with Kris' family during this most difficult time.

All of my thoughts and prayers are with you. It was my privilege to know Kris and to see the impact he made in the lives of those he taught and mentored. We all miss him very much.

To Kris' family, I am very sorry for your loss. You have been in my thoughts and prayers..

Kris was a a joy to work with. He led by example, always had something valuable to add, and his sharp wit leavened the situation many times. We will miss him tremendously. My deepest wishes for solace go to the TInker family in this time of sorrow. I add my prayers to the many others, that your grief may pass and God be with you.
