I met Chris at meetings of the Boston Chapter of the Piano Technicians Guild, ca. early 1980. Chapter meetings were often in the shop space he shared with George Crawford and others (Joe Pagano, Fred Mudge). Always a lot of fun, and happy to share knowledge about our trade. An excellent piano rebuilder! My dharma path (different school of T. Buddhism) wasn’t the same as Chris’s; I was always impressed by his devotion to his teacher and sangha. Although it was a bit of a physical struggle for him, he attended several Boston PTG meetings in the past year, always with wit and intelligent commentary. I’m sure you’ll have a successful passage in the bardo, my friend.
