Thank you all for your kind words. Chris was a wonderful dad and husband and worked so hard to know we were all loved. We're grateful he's at peace and reunited with loved ones who have passed before him.

So many memories of Chris as a student (so bright!) and friend with time spent in the family household. In latter days, mentioning his children brought a grin and a brightness to his eyes. No words were needed. What a loss--too early.

I remember the Kushner family, and Chris especially. If all my students were as respectful and friendly as Chris was, the world would be a much better place. Aileen, I feel your loss.
