We are friends that could talk today and be gone for awhile. We always picked up where we left off and we walked away with a smile. Now, I guess I won't run into you here. So when I get there, I hope, we will still be the timeless friends that we are.

Chris was my best friend for many years.Even though we hadn't talked in a while I thought of him many times.I also hung out with him at the river. I was his best man at his first wedding. I'll miss him.

My family is so sorry to learn of Christopher's death. My father, Sam Carpenter, was a Knight of Columbus and I remember the Pendenza family well from all the K of C gatherings so long ago. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry to hear about Chris and your loss. I hung out at the Russian River many years ago with Chris and a whole bunch of friends, those are some of my fondest memories of growing up. Even though that was a long time ago, in many respects it seems just like yesterday. I trust that Chris is in a good place now, hopefully having some of those same memories, he will be missed.
