No one could or would understand what Chris, his parents and family ever meant to me. One day we'll meet again, talk and laugh. Jesus probably won't let us get in the trouble we did though. Remembering fond times. I'm glad he was my best friend growing up. I'll still miss him until the day we meet again.

I have so many wonderful memories of my childhood friend, Chris. He had such a sweet spirit and kind heart! Deepest sympathy.

Dear DeeDee and Family, We are so very sorry to hear this sad news. We have been backpacking and away from service for several days. Please know we are thinking of you at this sad time. Love Paul & Martha

Dee Dee, my deepest sympathy to you and your family.

My old neighborhood, high school and work friend. Fond memories of a good man and warm spirit. Godspeed Chris.

Sorry to hear about Chris.  I always enjoyed talking sports and education sales with him.  Great guy and friend.  Sharon and I will pray for his family in this sad time.

Bondurant girls, I will be there with you in spirit but unfortunately have work plans that can not be changed.  We have gone through so much together in the many, many years we've been friends.  DeeDee, I'm ready when you are...

Dee Dee, Cindy, and Family,
I had the pleasure of knowing Chris and his family most of my life. My wife and I are currently out of town and will be unable to attend the services.  Please accept our deepest sympathy at this difficult time.
Al and Penny Baumer
