Lacrymosa

Passing along this memory on behalf of Bill Summers’s, Zeke’s Senior Fellowship advisor at Dartmouth: A great shadow has darkened the sky.  The birds have begun their silent mourning.  They sense the powerful moment of someone’s passing.  Nature knows another spirit has retired from the earth, and we who remain behind veil our faces as…

Christopher – or Zeke, as we called him at Dartmouth – and I became dear friends in college despite never having taken a single class together. We have always shared a love of languages and as undergraduates, we had a common (and very lucrative!) side job as teaching assistants for introductory French and German courses….

I have never met Christopher but knowing Quentin and Molly I can only imagine what a wonderful person he was. My thoughts and prayers are with you,Quentin, Molly,and Christopher. I can’t imagine what you are going through.  Love, Laura

Christopher was always a genuinely friendly guy who I always liked to talk to. He will be missed.

I join the many who are sending prayers on your way into the spiritual world. May the love that accompanies you help through guide the way. Your deeds inspire me!

A gentleman. Kind and generous.
