Dan I’m sorry about your brother
Hope things are good
So sad always was a joy to talk to such agreat guy
First of all thanks again Dan for calling me and letting me know. Chris was my best friend, since ’89 like a brother to me, the most loyal friend. He understood me better than I understood myself and distilled the ups and downs of life into a message I could understand. He made everything make sense! He’d laugh his uproarious laugh and all was right in the world. I’ll never forget him, and am hard-pressed actually to go on without him. I miss him already…
Thank you and much love to you, Gus.
I am very sad, he was my professor at UMassD. He was a joy! I miss him very much! My condolences from Brazil!
Heartbreaking news. Our condolences to the Larkosh families.
My Sincere Condolences to the Larkosh Family … ????????????????????????
I am very sorry to hear of the loss of Christopher.
Peace to the entire Larkosh family.
An enormous loss for everyone who knew and loved him –
Of all the things we lost in 2020, this is the one that brought me to tears. A gentle, peace-loving soul gone too soon.
RIP to a wonderful colleague and friend. Deepest sympathies to all of Chris’ family, friends and colleagues. Deeply, deeply missed.
I am so very sad to learn of this. I have known the Larkosh boys since they were just little guys, when I worked with their dad in the Mobile Science Lab. This is the time that we need the hugs of consolation for all those who knew and loved Chris. I’m sorry Dan.
I had him as a student at MVRHS. He was a good kid as was his brother.
This was so sad to hear. I was so looking forward to hosting Chris as a visiting professor in Siberia later this year — and our students were excited to take his classes. My condolences to Chris’s brother and father.
