Chris was one of those guys that would give ya the flannel shirt off his back. He was a once in a life time friend and brother. After high school I went directly into the Army, so we only saw each other when I came home on leave. On 2 December 1983 my father was killed in a car accident. I called Chris's house and his dad answered and told me he was out hunting. He then told me that he thought he knew where Chris was hunting and went out after him. By the time I landed in Spokane, Chris was waiting at the arrival gate for me. We went and made all the funeral arrangements for my dad that day and then we spent the next couple of days catching up on life. One month later, I received a phone call from Mrs. McBride. She told me that she had been trying to get in touch with me. She went on to tell me that Chris was killed in a car accident. The day she notified me, was the day of Chris's funeral. I have never forgiven myself for not being there for him or his family. Chris was my brother from another mother and there's not many days that go by that I haven't thought of him.. Damn I miss him!!!
