"To Chris' Parents and Family -Please accept my sincere condolences at the loss of your beloved Chris. We are deeply saddened to hear of this tragic news. I always enjoyed seeing Chris as he would take time to say hi and talk about things that were happening at school. Often times he would offer advice and tell me how a few things needed to be changed or improved. He would often lobby for a shorter school day... especially when he became an upper classman. Chris was always friendly and polite and had an easy-going manner about him. I will always appreciate him for those qualities. he will be missed by all. My sincere sympathies to all of you...Kim Huckstadt"
