My condolences to the family on the loss of Chris. I was working at St. Luke's Hospital when Chris transferred to Jacksonville from Rochester to support the radiology equipment. This equipment had historically been supported by outside vendors and Chris at first had a difficult time gaining the confidence of the User Groups but he proved to be an extremely intelligent and persistent individual and it didn't take him long to gain their trust and become an essential part of their team. Chris and I became fast friends and shared many good times together fishing and swapping tales of fishing, hunting and trapping. I considered Chris to be one of my best friends and will miss hearing those stories and going fishing together. He will be missed by the many friends he made here in Jacksonville but one thing for sure, Chris you will never be forgotten. Rest in Peace my friend.
Shirley, just saw this this morning - I am so so sorry for your loss.
So sorry Shirley and the whole Dietrich family! I will pray for peace and comfort for all.
