Ahhhh, 3years… I miss his  easy friendship.
Thinking of the family and friends. 


We miss you around Seagate Towers Kris. You were one of the more interesting people there to say the least. This winter we got to go by the drum circle that you were always telling me about. They had moved into the parking garage due to the rain that was, in typical Florida fashion, coming and going. it was pretty amazing. There were about 30 drummers and then three or four people dancing in the middle of the circle. I thought of you. It was loud. 

Here’s to all your friends  who are missing you on this Saturday. Hopefully where you’re at it’s sunny and the drums are drumming.

We served in the Navy during a 1987 Med Cruise.  I have just heard of his passing and I send his family and friends my condolences.

Missing our dear friend Kris, still doesn't seem possible that it's been a year already.  So many great times and memories, flying and skiing. He is missed on our Mt. Meister ski team, was hoping he would return to the team. RIP Kris,

Love, Ingy and Mike                                                                                            
 
                                                                             

You were missed this winter around Seagate. So many things happened where I would say to myself, "what would Kris say?"
I hope you are resting well and looking down on us and laughing and laughing. 

Missing Kris. Thinking of his family and friends who are missing him too.

You are dearly missed my friend.  Gone too soon. Keeping your family in my prayers.

You have been gone a year and we have missed you every day.  Our love will always be with you, our sweet, dear boy.

Mom, Dad and Karen

Can’t believe it’s been a whole year since we lost you. You are my partner walking down the aisle at graduation from high school, and I always thought you were a great person. It was so great to reconnect earlier last year. It was like no time has passed.

Kris and I were flight instructors together in the late 1980s .  
We had a lot of time to talk and get to know one another during weather days and sometimes during waits for ready  airplanes we could take our students up in . 
He was a good pilot and a good instructor and a class act . 
We kept in touch for quite a while after we had become Airline pilots :  back when major airlines flew into places like Fresno , Kris had me over to his nice home near there for a barbecue .  
He was one of those people you never felt like you’d lost track of and could pick up a 20 year old friendship like it was yesterday. 
I will miss him .


Kris and I met in 8th grade and became very good friends all through high school.  He lived on the other side of Arcade creek and he and Doug. Tony and I were great friends.  He was a kind, soft spoken friend to everyone who knew him. 
He had a layover in Denver a few years ago and we had dinner together.  Seeing him brought back so many fond memories of good times and a great friend.  I am so lucky to have known Kris and to be able to call him my friend. 
You are one of a kind and will be missed my friend. 

Kris loved going to listen to our local muscians at Jam nites here in Delray Beach ..I met Kris a few years ago and he was the kindest human being I know. He wiped away my tears when I was sad. .  And we talked for hours .This is so sad .. I cant believe he is gone. RIP my friend.. We will grab that drink and listen to music again one day together. :(

Kris was one of the most interesting men I have known.  I didn't know him that well in high school but remember him as a kind soul in a place that could be pretty cruel at times.  I enjoyed catching up with him at reunions and wish now that I had known him better.  He was a good man and I will miss him.

Kris and I were friends at La Sierra in the drama club. We all had so much fun, and he was a funny and sweet guy. I was so glad to reconnect with him a few years ago on Facebook. It was good to get to know him all over again after so many years.  My deepest sympathy to all his family and friends. He will be missed by many.

I’m a newish friend.
Met Kris at The Kripalu Center, Lennox MA.
We were attending a meditation workshop.
He visited with me in St Petersburg Fl last June.
Dragged him in/out of museums, a ball game and of course craft breweries. While visiting my family in West Palm, of course, I saw Kris too.
I remember a gentle fun man who also spoke his mind. I will miss his easy friendship. Sending profound sympathy to his family and friends.

Kris and I served together in the Navy starting in Aviation Officer Candidate school in 1982.  We trained together in Corpus Christi and then again in Pensacola, and ended up in Norfolk for our first duty station  though in different squadrons.  He was a great guy and I will miss him.   We ended up after our post Navy careers only a couple ours away here in Florida.  RIP brother aviator.  


As a childhood friend of Kris’ I have fond memories. He lived next door and was always kind and a gentleman. Sometimes challenging the other boys who came by to a foot race to make us smile. 
Another neighbor and friend Kim Ernst and I shared lunch with him a few years ago in Sacramento and talked about the old days. 
Rest In Peace Kris,
Shari LaForest Lasher

So many memories...we were close during Jr. High, and somewhat at La Sierra, and then again later in life when he lived here in Fresno for awhile.  Always dynamic, out-going, a pain in my side sometimes.  I count myself lucky to have known him, and am saddened at his passing.  Fair winds, Kris, I shall look for you in the tall grass...

So sad and unexpected to hear of Kris passing.  He was a good high school friend who would always make it a point to visit with us when he came to Sacramento.  We just had dinner with him earlier this year and he was his usual witty self.  

I crushed on Kris our freshman year at La Sierra. He was SO cute, soft spoken, and kind hearted.  We didn't talk to each other then but after he moved to Florida, we'd have dinner every time he was in town.  He was more outspoken and fun. I'll miss you my friend. 🥺

I was 2 years behind Kris at La Sierra High School. I always heard really great comments about him. In these later years, getting to know him on Facebook and at events I've learned what they meant. What a genle, kind person and now soul. God bless his family at this sad and difficult time. He will be missed.


Good Ol’ Butch.  Only met him a few times at AA but always enjoyed the time spent with him.  Quick to smile, quick to laugh, and always fun to be around.  I’m toasting him tonight with a pale ale and bourbon chaser.  Fair winds and following seas, Butch!  May you forever Rest In Peace.......

We are saddened by the passing of Kris, or “Butch” as he was affectionately known by his Navy Callsign. He was not only a Navy and airline colleague, but a friend. He will surely be missed. May he Rest In Peace. 

Sorry to hear of the passing of a fellow SH-2F LAMPS pilot. As Kris would attest, we had some fun times. Our prayers are sent to his loving family.

Great SH-2 LAMPS pilot and Naval Officer!  So sorry to hear of his passing.

Kirk J Daniels
LAMPS Pilot

I am terribly sorry to hear the news of Kris' passing.  I only knew him a short while, but he impacted me greatly.  He was one of my instructors in T-34s with VT-3 at Whiting Field back in 1988-89.  Along with Bill Hughes, Kris told me great stories of flying the H-2 and just life as a LAMPS pilot in general and greatly influence my choice to fly H-2s as well.  He was so even-tempered and patient and was a very good instructor.  I haven't seen him in years, but I certainly remember him well and appreciate all he did for me back then.  You have my deepest condolences.

Kris was a great friend and warm neighbor. We are both heartbroken to hear this news. Our sincere condolences to his family and friends and especially Liz.

 The passing of Kris is a shock to so many. His family and friends will be in my  prayers. Sincerely,
Rita Conyers- Seagate Towers

I was shocked and saddened to hear about Kris’s  passing.  I’ve known Kris and Liz For years ever since they moved into Seagate Towers.  Kris  was a nice man and very friendly.  I will miss seeing him walking  to the gym or at the drum circle downtown. Rest in peace Kris.
