Dear Madelyn and Family
I just found out about Chris's death. I wanted to extend my sincere condolences. I had the pleasure of working with Chris on a number of community incentives over the year I worked for Lutheran Medical Center and was active in Bay Ridge and Sunset Park. Although we were very different in our political philosophies, I still admired Chris. He had great integrity and was a man of his word (a quality that is sorely missing these days on both sides of the political aisles). I had a deep and abiding respect for him. I join everyone else who has expressed their sorrow at your loss. He was a good man who always tried his best to do right by those who turned to him for help. That's a wonderful legacy. He will be missed but remembered fondly by those who knew him. Sincerely, Bob Walsh

a friend. I shall always treasure his
friendship and memory. He loved you all
and was so proud of you!

Dear Val: I was so sorry to hear about your Dad's passing. I know you loved him so very much. You lovingly cared for him to the very end and made such a difference in his quality of life with the tremendous love and patience you showed him during his long illness. Take comfort in your memories of him and know that he no longer suffers, is fully restored in Heaven and will look down on you and yours as your beloved guardian angel.

With deepest sympathy, Amy Brimmer and family
