My heart is very sad to hear this news. I was planning a new musical trio with Liz and Chris and so enjoyed our times together in the last months. Chris came to visit a little while ago and sat on my deck sharing his ideas and excitement about music and his wisdom for life. I am so honored to have known him and share a tiny bit of his life. 💔🙏

When I think of Chris, I think of MUSIC, whether it's being a little girl and listening to him practice his saxophone for hours on end or the many family parties where we'd all debate, fight- get pissed at each other-take to opposite sides of the room!!
(Lannons, YOU know what I mean!!)
But then Chris would bring out his guitar and Liz her fiddle, and all would sing and find common ground in being together. Sending love to you all back home! I'm spending time listening to John Prine- I loved when Chris would sing his songs❤️❤️ Kelley
My Brother Chris danced to his own drum, his own beat.  He is rough and tender. Grisly on the outside at times  but like a well cooked steak, tender, and rare on the inside.  I will miss him so much.  Chris was the minstrel man at all our family gatherings as long as I can remember.  A real gem of a brother. He and Liz alway brought the joy to every party.  It will never be the same.  I had the honor of sitting with him for hours last night.  I read psalms and prayed by his side; a privilege I will cherish until I see him again in heaven.  Earlier in the week we talked about God and Jesus and we prayed for him to receive Jesus as his redeemer.  I have full confidence that Chris will be composing and performing music that edifies The King of Kings.   It is so exciting to know I will join in the choir with my big Brother Christopher, -( Latin for Christ Bearer).  Very fitting!  See you on the other side. Amen
One of the last things my dad said to me was, "got a light?"

As far as I know, my dad has never gone more than a day without a cigarette. Over his 5 days in the hospital, there were numerous requests for a smoke. We tried explaining that it wasn't possible to light one up in the oncology unit of Maine Medical Center, but it just made him more irritable to hear no. Then we discovered that the nurses could give him a nicotine patch, which seemed to quell his cravings. One evening as me, Erica, Brendan and Dad enjoyed a dinner of Pad Thai and the view of Casco Bay from his seventh floor window, the nurse came to offer a nicotine re-up. He offered a nicotine patch, gum, or lozenge, to which Chris replied "gimme all you got!" then turned to us and said, "who's got a light??"

I will cherish this memory - so classically Chris - forever.
