Some people just make life better for everyone around them. They just naturally make everyone feel a little happier, a little more alive to life. That’s how my cousin Christopher was. His kind heart and generous soul blessed so many people. The times we spent together were always fun times that left me looking forward to the next.

Four days Patrice and I will always cherish. Oh, and we appreciated his offer to shovel as well… A man’s value is not measured by his years on earth,…

My cousin, my friend, my other brother. Thank you for it all: Munich operas, Boston restaurants, Norwegian cabins, Moosilauke hikes, French books, Cape Cod sandcastles, London museums, and countless WhatsApp voice memos. Thank you for being simultaneously here and there, for both listening and teaching, and for laughing the whole damn way. What a privilege…
