Patrick Kinney wrote a sympathy message

““Chris headed the Hawkeye Valley Area Agency on Aging in Waterloo for many years. He was involved in many political campaigns and community and business projects through his ad agencies. He chaired the Waterloo Chamber of Commerce and directed the “Thunder in the Valley” air show at the Waterloo airport. On a personal level, he maintained his faith and served his church — even when he found it challenging to do so. I so valued his confidence and friendship. God bless him and his loved ones.””

“Chris meant so much to our family in helping us with many things. Was always available when called and very encouraging. I enjoyed serving with Chris on the Waterloo Airport Commission. Linda and I will deeply miss him and have been praying for Chris in his battle with cancer. Carl & Linda Meyer”
