Thanks for all the kind words you guys. Chris wold have been honored as he loved this site and the friends he met here. So Glad to see that you saw this Phillip, I was hoping you would. Chris also had another friend Werner I think. If you can, let him know that Chris passed.
Thanks, Jim

Very sorry to hear Chris has succumbed to cancer or complications from it. Chris was one of the good ones and always had time to talk to me as a friend, not just the guy who bought his beloved boat. I think he was like that with everyone and I know he was a great and brilliant man. Laura, I am very sorry to hear the bad news and I hope I was of some help in my small way. I know Chris was a big help for me in many ways and was always supportive no matter how bad I shot myself in my own foot. May he rest in peace.

I love and miss you brother Chris for everything you stand for and the good you did for everyone.

Godspeed my friend. See you one day and looking forward to it very much.

Thank you for letting us know Jimmy.

Very sad news. Chris was a great guy. I'm glad I got to know him through you Jim. We had many laughs and great times boating and snowmobiling together.

Just saw this, thoughts and prayers outbound - seemed like a great guy as I never personally knew him. Grieving is a normal positive process, just try and remember ALL the good and celebrate those moments, may he rest in peace.

I know Chris wanted to have some of his ashes spread in Long Lake, NY. I also know some S & F members have been to Long Lake, NY. I wonder if we could coordinate something for Chris next year in the spreading of his ashes here in Long Lake. We're going to miss you Mr. Bunder!!!

Very sad to hear about this loss I know he was a close friend of yours Jim. I remember meeting him years ago at the Romp and he was so friendly and inviting. The memory that I will think of every time his name comes up was at the Romp when he pulled beside me and said " Oh man what kind of oil do you run in that thing? your exhaust smells so sweet!!"......RIP Chris

I am so terribly sorry to read about Chris' passing. Many of you know I lost my dad to cancer back in 2006, and I understand how brutal that fight is. It's just an awful battle and Chris was surely a fighter to battle that long. I did not know Chris well, however I do remember his login name. As much as I know so many members here, I sometimes feel badly when a tragedy such as this happens and I have not had the chance to get to know him better.

Rest In Peace, Chris.

Greg
