Dearest family~
Brothers since 2nd grade; Chris was an inspiration and true friend to me. The 70's would'nt have been the same without him (smile). When he joined the Military he inspired me to do the same. I feel honored to have known him as a freind and previledged to have visited him and his family in August,2004. My wife Lesly and I send our warmest and deepest condolences.

RIP big guy-your pard'na

Kim,
My deepest sympathy to you and your family during this time. I truly understand the loss and feel your pain as we just buried my baby brother "Charles K. Lee" one month ago. Your brother will be laid to rest probably a few feet away from my brother at Dayton National. We definetly have a close connection. Continue to look to Jesus because he is the only one who can sustain us during this most difficult time in our lives. May you continue to look to the hills from which cometh all of our help and strength. God bless you and your family. Your Co-worker and sister in Christ.
