Chris was a good friend, a hard worker with a strong work ethic, and an excellent group leader. I enjoyed his wealth of knowledge on just about any subject, his wonderful sense of humor, and his many stories of adventure with his "best buddy." He will be deeply missed, and his hearty laugh will always be remembered. Judi and I send thoughts and prayers to Linda and all of the Dudley Family.
