Dear Alysa and family, I am very sorry to hear about Chris. I went on several backpacking adventures with him, and I was at your wedding with Adam. He was quite the hiker and was always ready to lend a hand to a fellow hiker in need. I will always remember those times. My thoughts are with you. Rob Langinger

Alysa, Mikah, and Nathan,

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I am devastated. I loved Chris so much. He was always so helpful and compassionate and will always have a special place in my heart. Sadly, I will not be able to make the memorial in Healdsburg, but I will be thinking of all of you and doing something special here in Alaska to remember my beloved "Uncle Curly." My thoughts and prayers are with you.
