I can’t believe this! We weren’t very close, but used to exchange messages over our mutual interest in the Southern Cross. He came to my home town of Columbia, MO to study back in the late 1990s. I am so sorry to hear that this happened! I’ve not been keeping up on the Robotech world for the last decade plus, but this is really shocking. I’m so sorry this happened. Chris was a decent guy and I always enjoyed talking to him via e-mail and sharing little Southern Cross images and tidbits that I’d uncover. I don’t know what else to say… We’ve lost someone irreplaceable.

I first came across Chris via part one of “The universe according to Chris” that he did as apart of the Eyrie Productions’ “Golden Age” section of their legendary Undocumented Features stories and it was through here that I also came across his work with Dave Deitrich on mecha work from Marcross.

I truly enjoyed all of his work from there on out when I could find it due to ever widening circles of life and I hate to say it that I lost track of him and after hearing the news today, I can only wish well for his family in this time. I’m sorry if this seems kind of bland, but the words are honestly escaping me that could do this man proper respect.

Chris and I first crossed paths in the Transformers fandom in the mid-90s, and I remember him than (and more recently, in that same fandom) as a kind and thoughtful individual, with great generosity of spirit. He was also a skilled debater, and a wonderful fan fiction writer. I’m sending personal wishes to his family, and I know that folks on alt.toys.transformers feel similarly.

Thanks very much. I’m pleased to hear from Chris-related community outside TeleRead.

Thanks for your expression of sympathy, Ian. I’m confident Chris would have felt the same way.

Never having met in person we met in Robotech communities nearly 30 years ago and I always respected and liked him. I am very sad to hear this.

I only learned of this tragic news when I came to post another comment… Now that all seems so inconsequential…

Thanks, Kitty. I’d welcome further recollections of Chris from others in games circles. Remember, I was mostly familiar with him by way of his TeleRead incarnation. Among friends from all of his lives, Chris will be dearly missed.

In the game, I started a supergroup (aka guild) dedicated to cats, called the Feline Fellowship, but when I got too busy to run it, he stepped in and ran it wonderfully. He played with us several times, joined our Discord server, and made several cat-themed characters. He is being honored in-game by the other GMs, and will be sorely missed.

Thanks, Susan. I was very lucky to be able to publish his work. Beyond that, as is already abundantly clear, he was a wonderful human being.

I had the pleasure of writing alongside him at Teleread for a few years and valued his insight and commentary. He will be sorely missed.
