I can't see how to fix these...my brains are scrambled from bringing everything over!

There's no harm in duplicates.

11. I really hate that he's gone.

I wish he'd had more time, he certainly deserved more.

[GP6971]

34. He may be gone physically

but he hasn't left us. Our memories is what he left behind. We're all better for his contributions.

I didn't know him and occasionally ran across his posts.......I thought his posts were very insightful, informative and objective.

RIP

[etherealtruth]

18. Thank you, Peggy.

Such a terrible loss for his family and for us.

[GoCubsGo]

19. I really love watercolors. Thank you for sharing.

And, I especially like the first one. I didn't know Chris was such an artist. What a loss.

[frazzled]

20. Up where the air is fresh and sweet

I hope he's up there on the roof, enjoying the view.

A very nice tribute.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. You channeled one of his songs...thank you for that.

I hope he is too.

[JCMach1]

23. He will be missed...

[awoke_in_2003]

24. Thanks Peggy

I, too, really like the first painting- not sure why, but I do.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

25. Laurie told me he meant it to be a bird flying. I like it too.

[awoke_in_2003]

27. That makes sense

I work in the aviation field, maintaining flight simulators. I may not be a pilot, but flight fascinates me- especially raptors.

[kentuck]

26. Thank you for sharing these.

I remember when Chris posted this one on DU...

[CherokeeDem]

29. What a beautiful tribute...

May Chris' family and all who loved him find peace in his memory.

His paintings are wonderful, thank you for sharing.

[cwydro]

30. KICK.

[morningfog]

31. I tend to avoid posting in any personal posts on DU.

Due to my own personal hang ups on mortality, I especially avoid posting tribute and loss threads.

However, seeing work created as one faces their own mortality has also stirred me. Thank you for posting. His simple works moved me.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. Thank you.

And he did face his own mortality, over many years, but esp. these last 16 months.

He always said to live in the moment, since he never knew when his last moment would come.

I am glad his works moved you, my dear morningfog...

[spanone]

32. s w e e t.....

[Gemini Cat]

in the coming weeks, months and years.

Thanks for sharing his life and struggles.

RIP Chris.

[calimary]

40. Watercolors?

Pretty, pretty, pretty!

Thanks for posting these, my dear Peggy! They're really wonderful! What a nice memory to have of our friend WCGreen.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

41. Yes, my dear calimary, most of them are watercolors.

There's one (I think, the round one) is a silk-screen.

His wife had posted them on Facebook, and I wanted all of you to see them too.

I agree: they make a great memory of him.

[merrily]

42. I did not know him when he was posting, but I know he was fortunate to

have a friend like California Peggy.

Thank you for this thread and condolences again, CP.

[Enthusiast]

I am so grateful to him for having made these. Yes, they will be around forever!

[KMOD]

49. I spent the morning listening to his

beautiful voice singing beautiful songs on youtube.

Such a talent, and such a beautiful spirit.

His music was very comforting to me.

I am so very sorry for your loss, Peggy.

I am keeping you, his wife Laurie, his family and many friends, in my thoughts, and I wish you all peace in this difficult time.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. Thank you, my dear KMOD...

I am so grateful to him for having recorded himself singing and playing.

Funny, I spent part of today listening to a couple of those YouTubes too.
