I met Chris on Pelican probably 20 years ago. I was asking about transmission rebuilds and likely complaining about the cost. He contacted me, told me how to get discounted parts and then said to bring up and he would rebuild. He Just wanted a liter of Mountain Dew. I was sure I was going to get tied up in a basement, but money’s money. Well I was so fortunate to have gone. He was funny and extremely kind. I knew almost immediately I was around someone special. Just so fun to be around.
I recall recently driving with him and another Pelican. Well someone cut us off and the other Pelican got really mad, cursing away. Chris explained that we didn’t know the other person’s situation and maybe they were dealing with something really bad to make them drive like that. He just oozed of kindness when the rest of us would be quick to curse. Anyhow, These are just some stories I tell people about Chris though there are many. I sure his really close friends would have hundreds of these stories.
In closing, The world lost a really special person today. One I know I try to be like.
In Chris’s honor, do the Dew and share some kindness. Rest In Peace.
