It is with deep sadness to report that we lost a dear friend from the HHV Army a couple of days ago. We are shocked and extremely saddened by this news. It's so hard to imagine we will no longer see Chris around. We simply were not, or are not prepared for this.
The Big Thread began nearly five years ago and Chris joined shortly after. He posted daily and often. He was truly a fixture in our ECF world. We knew Chris very well. Living abroad and with his crazy sleep schedule we could expect to hear from Chris at any time of day or night. Sometimes our opinions on matters can get a little testy. Never Chris. Never! He never had a bad thing to say about anyone often choosing to be a calming voice. He was fun and funny and self deprecating and caring and positive and a bit goofy and just an all around good guy.
I look forward to the day when I can look back on Chris and smile. But for now it is too painful. Rest in Peace my dear friend. God be with you.
For those wanting to remember Chak please leave your comments below. We will try and get them to his family.
