I am so sorry to hear of our Families lose, I hadn’t saw him in awhile and we pretty much just met passing over the years. But he was/is my first cousin and he will be missed
Joyce, I am so sorry for your loss, my thoughts are with you and you have my deepest sympathy.
Sorry for your loss. Worked with Chris at Armstrong. He was a great person. May God be with you all at this time.
My condolences to Ralph’s family. My favorite memory with Ralph will always be the day we went fishing on the Arkansas river and I caught 2 catfish and Ralph didn’t catch anything. I will never forget his laugh or the grief he gave me for out fishing him that day. I am very blessed to have known such a kind hearted man and I will never forget you! Rest in peace and I’ll see you again!
To my big brother Chris “The Golden Boy”, I will love you forever and I will see you in heaven.
Your little sis,
Genz
I just found out this morning of Chris’s passing. I am so very sorry for your loss. Chris loved being outside in nature. I remember all our fishing trips and one time in particular when we were fishing at Lincoln Lake and I caught a 3 pound bass right at dark. The funny thing is he had taken off the worm I had on my pole and put it on his pole, he had been fishing with it for a long time with no luck when I finally noticed I made him put it back on my pole then I caught that bass…he was so mad…. and we laughed and laughed about that later. He had a kind heart. He will be missed.
Thank you everybody for your love. Debra, I’m happy to see you were made aware of his passing. I didn’t know how to get ahold of you and I knew you’d want to know 🙂
I am so sorry for your loss may God be with you in the time of your grief.
I am first cousin to Chris, Willard was my uncle, and I knew Shirley when Chris as a baby.
Sorry for your loss. Worked with Ralph many years and had fun with him. May you rest in peace.
So many stories to tell about this great friend. He cared about other people more than anyone I have ever met, and was such a talented man. He is deeply missed by many.
He wasn’t just a friend, but my brother.
