It's not Scotch, and I don't have a proper stick to burn, but I've got some really nice Puerto Rican rum and a pinch of snuff that I'm working on while thinking about Chris and his family tonight on the back porch while listening to some Chris LeDoux. Semper Fi, Here!

Just heard from another mutual friend. First time back over here in years.

Dammit Chris. Not the right way to go about finding peace but you sure have it now and left others with none. You are missed.

I'm tired of coming back to the gb for these threads. He was certainly a memorable poster going back more than a decade.

This is cheer now.

You will be missed Chris. I thought of you just the other day and thought about reaching out. Wish I had. You were a good friend.

Here.

I used to post on the GB a decade or more ago; mostly lurk now. I don't know him personally, but he was always a favorite. I'm so sorry to hear this. He was one of the good guys.

I joined TA in 07, and back in those days he and I used to clash on just about everything, and it was always dumb, insignificant stuff. And I doubt he would even remember any of it.

But as I've gotten older, and based on his posting in the past couple years, I know we would have gotten along great in real life. He seemed like a genuinely good guy and a fun dude to grab a beer with.

I offer my sympathies to all of you who called him a friend.

He took his own life. I don't believe any of us can share more than that.

I wouldn't believe this if if anyone else but you had posted it. Met yall on the same night.

Don't know what to say, but prayers for old friends.

I seriously doubt he ever met a stranger. I'm still in shock, and miss him terribly right now even though we've only exchanged electronic messages over the last few years. I know the world is now deprived of some great future contributions from him... I thought he was on a great professional path with a bright future, and his personal life seemed to be in sync as well. RIP, my friend.

No homo.. Scim was a sharp looking, handsome man.

He was totes hot. Even with that gnarly mustache and uppity attitude that finance people tend to have.

Sadly I didn't know him personally but always enjoyed his posts, even if I didn't always agree with him. My prayers to his family and to those of you who had the pleasure of knowing him. RIP Chris.

This is terrible, I remember him being one of the good ones around here for what seems like over a decade now. He was way too young for this.

The good news is that Chris knew and loved the Lord and I firmly believe he is in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The bad news is we will not get to see Chris for a while and will miss him terribly. But I know I will see him again.

And may I urge you to get at peace with the Lord if you have not already done that.

Oh no, I am so sorry to hear this. I always enjoyed having a fellow Yankee to trade bon mots with. Met him at some tailgates back in the day with Caramel Twix (are you here??) and her bunch.

RIP to a super nice friendly guy with all the sarcasms. I am so sorry to all his loved ones and friends.

Just sad that he succumbed to whatever demons he had inside of him. I only know him based on his internet persona. Although he does come off as a bit arrogant, I thought it was mostly an act for shts and grins. It was never mean-spirited.
