Kris Angelo Moe was more than just a wonderful man, father, husband and a best friend, he was so much more ... he was and is beautiful as an Angel. I have never met anyone in my life that was so perfectly spiritual, so deeply intelligent, so gifted and talented. To this day when my group closes in Angelos memory we do one of his songs and I tell the stories of our memories, they always get the fans crying for the love we all miss from Angelo. Our Angel who all that knew him loved him. There are just not enough words. Steve D.

After meeting FCCK so many years ago and "growing up" with the band, I learned alot about life. Kris/Angelo was as enigma to me: caring and deeply intellectual, yet his candor and sense of humor brought forward his thoughts and feelings--and that came out through his song writing talent and/or contributions to the band, i.e. Only Time Will Tell, Later Than Midnight, etc, as well as the energy to make every show a memorable one, case in point, Kris' crying-in-the-aisle version of "Tell Laura I Love Her" and surfing on top of the piano. After any conversation with Kris, I always walked away knowing something new.



In the book of my life (which has alot of pictures of the band in it), sadly, another page has turned.



P.S. to Kris...you told me once that when you run water or a shower, it changes (corrects) the ions around you...and helps with jet lag. I heard that from you before I read it any magazine. Thanks.

Kris was always an inspiration in both the good times and the bad.

We will miss him and remember his laughter and wit forever.

See you in the big band.

Kris filled my home, shop, and heart when Flash would come back into town from the road during their touring days. He and my daughter, Lyn, had a special bond. I have wonderful memories of him. Nobody could wear a black and white tux better than Kris!

Although not as close to Kris in recent years as 25 some years ago he will always be a part of my life which I will never forget. I was roommates with his brother Leif and we spent many days with Kris at his dome on the ranch. Most of the time was spent lounging and of course laughing about nothing. We'd play frisbee golf for hours by day and then at night play music to our hearts content in the studio. Who could ever forget our rousing broom ball games on the pond and the oldest basketball rivalry (shirts vs. skins) played out daily on the court by the studio.

My memories of Kris are fond and he will live on forever in my heart.
