This is my second entry. I wanted Cathy to know how sorry I am for the loss of your brother. I can't imagine that kind of pain. He seems like a very sweet guy. I didn't know him that well, but I knew you quite well. We had many fun adventures together in the short time that we lived next door to each other in Little Turtle. You were a really good friend and a lot of fun to hang out with and I am so sorry that you had to lose your brother at such a young age.

I lived nextdoor to him and his family in Little Turtle. I just saw this. He was always nice and a very good neighbor. I was good friends with his sister Cathy. So sad to see that he died at such a young age.

This is the first time I've read this guestbook. I didn't know it existed. Thank you everyone who sent us prayers and love. They were felt and very much needed. I miss my beautiful, big, brother so much. He was such a fun, big kid. He gave my kids so much joy. I hope he is at peace. I still can't believe he is gone. I pretend he is off riding horses in NC w/ Cindy. I wish I could sink into that comforting chest of his for one of his awesome, strong hugs. Thanks everyone for loving him so much!

You would give the shirt off of your own back to help other people. I miss you soooo much!!!! I want you back! I will see you in the next step of our lifes. I will always have you in my heart and soul.

Cathy, Mike and family...

Words cannot express the sadness and sorrow I felt when I got the call... Chris came into my life when I was just 10 years old. We formed an immediate bond right from the start. He had a heart of gold and would do anything for his family. He will forever be my uncle...

I've only known Chris for a short time but I will miss the excitment he showed every time he talked about the restaurant. He was such a warm and charming man, and he will be missed greatly by his employees. I am very sorry he's not here to see all the customers we have made happy, I think that some where he is watching and he is very pleased and proud.

I just met Chris once when we vacationed and skiied together two years ago in Tahoe. A very friendly and charming guy who was a great skier and became my ebay hero. He was a legenday figure for me who'd I'd heard of from Tracey(formerly Thompson) as long as I've known her. The kind of guy you seem to know immediately, and that's a rare thing for me. That day with Chris, Cindy and Tracey was a standout in my life-much appreciated!

I am quite sure that we all have a funny Chris story to tell, I have too many to list, and it makes me smile. He was one of my oldest and dearest friends and I am so thankful that we kept in touch. It was an honor to know him,and I will always love him. I am sorry I couldn't attend his funeral.

My thought and prayers to all who knew Chris. He had a good heart and soul and was well liked. I knew Chris from Westerville North. He is another North Warrior that we have lost and so young. Peace be with his family and friends.

I am truly sorry for your loss. My child worked for Mr. Turk, and although only for a short time, speaks of his kindness and pleasant demeanor. You are in my thoughts and prayers. May god be with you in this time of loss. You will see him again.
