Chris had mice in his house, and he set live traps for them, gave them names (Rosie was one), and released them in the park. Who does that? Chris did.

My deepest condolences to the entire family. I have never met Christopher but I can feel the love, light and warmth and a good dose of humor in his pictures and beautiful stories. A life well lived.

"Always an Adventure" - That became the mantra of our relationship as we navigated the normal ups and downs of our marriage and our wonderful shared experiences.

That saying first came into being when Chris took me to Otis for the first time.  He rented a single engine aircraft so we could view the gorgeous Berkshire landscape from the air.  All of a sudden he turned to me and said "What's that?" and then I realized the engine was no longer running!  But then he fired it back up and laughed.  It's a "normal" stall technique, but he was not kidding when he said it was "Always An Adventure!" with Chris.  I never looked back from that day.

Chris introduced me to so many joys and experiences in life that I would not necessarily have known had he not been in in my life.  Camping in the Adirondacks and Outer Banks, the joy of owning puppies from start to end, introducing me to national as well as fantastic local rock and roll bands, and travels to the far corners of the world;  Many Carribean countries, Europe -Italy and Ireland being our favorites.  I wouldn't be who I am today had I not met Chris, and I will be forever grateful to him for how much richer he made my life.

I will always love him and treasure the wonderful memories, and will miss him every day.

Chris, a man of many talents, elected to live self-sufficiently in quiet solitude. He was an agreeable guy who enjoyed the company of others but chose to live alone. We admired his skills and capabilities - there are few people who could do what he could. Conversations with Chris were always interesting; we never thought they would end so soon. Chris, we hope you found your peace in the forest. You will be missed and will be loved always. Erry and Hugh

Since even before Nancy Lee and I married, Chris was supportive, kind and generous. He could sometimes hide it in a gruff exterior, but he had a great heart and a giving spirit.
