Chris was an employee at WATshop Business Services in the past and I remember him fondly as a good worker and nice person. We used to talk about jazz musicians. His untimely death was a shock, and our condolences go out to his family. What a lovely obituary you wrote for him!

I first met Christian when I moved to Boulder from New York city in the Spring of 1991.
He was walking his dog Enya whom I petted. He spoke to me with a sweet, gentle smile, a kind look in his eyes, and in a soft voice.
And in the years that followed, whenever I met him downtown, he was always the same.
In 1994 I met the man who became my husband in 1997. It turned out that he too knew Christian!
We both loved and admired Christian for who he was. He was honest, forthright and kind and never tread on anyone's toes or hurt anyone in his life.
Boulder is a less beautiful place with him not in it.
But his sweet soul will now smile kindly on us from a much better place than this.
He will never be forgotten by anyone who knew him.
I only wish that I had known that he was sick and in hospital and that I could have visited him before he left us.
I wish a family member would contact us and tell us about his last years.
We have not see him since 2001.
