Hi Boss, My name is Ben. I just learned the news from our colleague in Beijing. It is saddening. I was on the Unocal China team from May 2001 to July 2004. I experienced most professional development in those three years, under your leadership. You were like a father, not just a boss or colleague, when you provided feedback and help. There are so many things that come to mind. Memory of your presence, image, voice, laughter and brisk steps is not distant, and I hope it always remain that way. I think you taught me to be generous by being an example. You were like a star giving light when I struggled. I cherish that light, and will carry on that light. Eighteen years later, a belated “Thank You” to you. I now live on Hainan island, working as a freelance translator and raising two kids. Be a good professional at work and be a good father/husband at home, like you were. Rest in peace…

Thank you for setting up this memorial to Chris. We hope that you find it a positive experience developing the site and that it becomes a place of comfort and inspiration for you to visit whenever you want or need to.

I am I and you are you, whatever we were to each other that we still are. Speak to me in the easy way which you always used. Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight? Life means all that it ever meant, it is the same as it ever was.
