“Hello Barb and Aidan,Randy Julie, Cindy and John, Debbie and Holly, Brenda: The day after l heard about Chris's passing l woke up early with a song on my heart and ringing in my mind: The Ballad of the Green Beret. Why? l don't know. l almost asked if he had ever been in the military trying to figure it out. l played it several times on YouTube and came to the conclusion God thinks of Chris as a Green Beret.......he's won those silver wings on his chest., top 3% of men.Well done!

“There are times in life; when you meet various forms of "Characters". Chris was truly a big CHARACTER. Once you met him; you never forgot him. At least I never did; nor will. But along with that, came a BIG HEART. Chris cared for EVERYONE he met. He was a Gentleman in the finest sense of the word. Fair Winds & Blue Skies on your Journey to the Father Chris. Godspeed, and save me a seat at the bar Mate; I'm looking forward to that next Margarita with you. Sincerest Regards - Mike Dittmer”
