Dear Luchini family,

I haven't seen Chris since high school, and though I didn't know him that well during those years, I was saddened to hear this news. Anytime someone our age passes this early it is a very tragic thing. I remember him in high school as a smiling, positive kid who had lots of friends. I knew Pete a bit, and hope you are doing OK through this. I wish I had known Chris had been living in NYC for the past couple of years, it would have been nice to have been able to have met up with an old ECH classmate. I wish all of your family the best. Sincerely,

-Pete

To the Henry/Luchini's,

I hadn't seen or talked with Chris since high school, but I have great many memories of our friendship and times we spent together. Those were the "Skate and Destroy" (skating term) "flat-top" dew havin' days of our youth. Those were memorable times, and he was a great and thoughful friend. I feel for you in your grief, and my thoughts are with you. Jeff Oberlatz

Dear Virginia, Pete, Brian, and Doug and the rest of the Henry/Luchini Family. I was so saddened to hear about Chris's death. My heart aches for all of you. I've thought of you all often over the years and have nothing but wonderful memories of the times we shared together back in the days of El Camino. Chris's itelligence, sharp wit and willingness to help a friend remindes me of the time he installed my new car stereo in the infamous Ford Falcon. I only hope that the many memories of Chris can bring occassional smiles to you all in this time of overwhelming grief. You are in my thoughts. Regards, Dan Oberlatz
