Dear George and Wanda,
Wish we were still in Austin area to be with all of you at the celebration of Chris's life. We are so glad that you included the photo, because it shows a quite different Chris from the one that was in our minds' eyes. Please be free to mourn this death as you prepare to celebrate his life on Saturday.

Grace and Peace are yours,
Doris and Charles Hahn

Dear Wanda and George,

Oh what pain.

I remember a story from a sermon I heard when I was growing up. A family had lost a child at 7 in a swimming pool accident. They were asked if they were angry about the early death. They said no, that they were thankful for the seven wonderful years that they shared the life of this child.

So we are thankful for the life of Chris as well.

Herman

We lost our Son, Chris, Sunday to cancer. He was a grand human being, ask anyone who knew him and many of you did. Raised partially in a ghetto, in Asia, lived among Aboriginals in Australia. Studied Broadcasting out of High School. Dropped out of college twice. Learned trades, managed fast food restaurants. Self taught himself about computers and worked for several Hi Tech companies the last being Apple where he was employed throughout his illness. Had his own interview radio program on a local station. Was a photographer. SXSW being one of the events he shot, Had 2 sons and a granddaughter, and all this touches only the surface, and of course he was part of our community. Always one to lift the mood, be respectful and ask the next question. At his request, we will hold a Memorial Celebration of his life at the Wells Branch Community Center on Saturday, September 26. Thanks to everyone who have extended their condolences. We miss him deeply.
