I met Chris on my first job, post-college - near the LI communities where we were raised and our parents still live. We shared a love of teasing out the puzzles of our young lives including our families of origin, aspirations and love interests (including our own). We shared a real interest in natural living. After I moved to the city, we continued to indulge each other in long chats but now they were sprinkled with issues around profession and vocation, politics and, still, personalities. It was Chris who called us, together, the brain and the ear as I continued to be puzzled and inquiring and he continued to be the best listener I could ever want. And, zany. He always made me feel better by his presence, whether by phone or on visits to museums or diners (esp. on LI). He gave succor; that his spirit receive that in return. My condolences to his family - his mother, his brother and family.
