I have observed this young man’s career and many accomplishments with admiration via FaceBook. I never met him. Yet through the pictures, postings, and his music, I felt a great connection. As a musician, I grieve the loss of his talents in the future. As a teacher, I grieve for those who taught him and…
We are notes Of differing tempos On the staff if life Some of us Are conductors Who lead others In harmonies Leading to grand finales!
Chris, I met you first in spring 2001 at the fundraising, playing „ein eingebildeter Kranker“ with Moira. Having fun together, drawing anatomic hearts on Papierservietten… I could stay at Chris‘ wonderful family through summer 2001\.

Wir sind fassungslos – wir sind traurig – uns fehlen die Worte. Es waren immer ganz besondere Momente wenn Du bei uns in Sontheim einen Zwischenstopp eingelegt…
I am thinking of the gesture of Christopher’s life. I have missed sharing his presence in his later years as our paths did not cross.
