My sincerest condolences to the family, and thanks for the warm ceremony. I worked with Chris, and, like Chris, was interested in the life of the greats in industry like Henry Ford. I remember Chris as a warm and personable person, always working to get to the bottom of problems, always open to suggestion. I will miss him dearly. He was a dreamer, as I am, with hopes of modeling his life after strong, insightful people. I recently ordered the "Never Complain, Never Explain" biography on Henry Ford II and look forward to reading it. I'll be thinking of Chris and the family as I do.
With warm regards and condolence,
David Wells
