Kris-Kenneth and I were close many years ago-just heard of his death-am so sorry-you must have made him a wonderful wife.

Chris and family -- please accept my sincerest sympathy on your loss. I have many fond memories of my years on the Wheeler team at H&W. I remember especially that Ken loved Christmas and would decorate his office. When it was time to pass out bonuses he would call us into his office and always asked if we were happy in our work. My thoughts are with all of you.

Chris, Jennifer, Ruthie, and families. My heart is very heavy today. Even though I have not seen my very first boss in many years, I cherish the time that I worked for him at Hunton Williams and always smile when I think of him. We never failed to exchange birthday cards through the years and I will feel a little empty on July 25th. My sincere condolences to you all.
