It´s been five years and I am continuing to have fond memories of our friendship and working relationship. Montae is married , has three kids and just bought a beautiful home in Florida. We done good, lol. Although you may not admit it, you did have a heart of gold. Missing you still.

Chris and I were so close as friends. We met at JCA. We worked together to elect judges, politicians and reminisced about the golden years of politics. I only found out about his passing a few years after I moved back to Albany. His nickname for me was "link" from the mod squad. He was funny, kind and our respect and I think lovrle as friends was one of the highlights of my life. He was my favorite person in all the world. Sleep peacefully my friend. I was lucky to have met him. Thank you Chris. I miss you so much.

Chris and Dan,
Though it has been three years since the passing of Chris, I still think of him on occasion and wanted to add to the kind and thoughtful comments here. Chris was a good friend of mine since I first met him in 1994 while working for Albany County Children Services. We had a ton of laughs over the years and he was always spot on when giving me advice on different aspects of life. Like a good friend does. He was one of the least pretentious and genuine people I have ever met. A great sense of humor and an intellect to match, we had many great conversations over beers , on the golf course or work. As I get older and look back on good friends and good times, the memory of Chris Pennock is prominent in both areas. I miss you my friend. I really do.

Chris,
I miss you so much. There are so many things I wish I could ask you, and so many things I'd love to debate with you! I know you'd have so much to say about the state of the world these days! You'd say not to "extract too much pain from it," so I try my best to focus on memories of your tricks and stories, delivered with a mischievous glint in your eye. I hope that some of your fierce compassion rubbed off on me. I hope that everyone who is missing you can find some happy reminder of your friendship to get them through the tough times.

Well Chris another March is coming to an end. What a great month it used to be. Oh, the many St. Patrick´s Day´s we celebrated together. I don´t remember each one individually but collectively they were great. I miss our friendship, but I will always cherish the time we had.

Having met Chris' dad, I recalled a line from Mr. Pennock's obituary: "He was a gentleman to all who met him, and was always a kind man." The same could be said about Chris. He was so kind to my family when we were neighbors. Blessings to all who mourn his loss. He was a good man.
