Rest in peace, my friend. I loved you from a very special place in my heart and I always will. With all your many accomplishments here on earth you were, first, a writer, and the greatest storyteller I will ever know. Thanks for helping me carry the couch. Thanks for letting me help you carry the couch. And please note, Chris, there is not a single typo in these too-few sentences… and, well, you know the rest.
Alice, Jennifer, Bridget, Chad, Ray, Tom and family, So sorry to hear from Chad of the passing so young of Christopher "Bushnek." Like Fox before him, Bushnek was an upbeat. lively guy who was fun to be around. I’ll miss him and all those Love family get-togethers I was privileged to attend, with so many laughs and smiles. At the suggestion of you, Alice, and the family, my wife, Debby, and I will make a donation in Christopher’s name to a Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School scholarship fund. With love and prayers, Oey
