I'm informed today of Chris's passing away.
He has been a source of inspiration in my 18 years of working with Nordson Malaysia. I worked with him for a job here 16 years ago for almost 2 months that tought me solutions can be found in various ways. His preparedness to teach and bring me up to speed my learning knowledge had made be the valuable person that I am today.
He was a very sincere person who carried his family very close to his heart wherever he went and made us too a part of them too.
I'm deeply saddened with this news and pray for God's wisdom and courage be with Mary and the family.
Below was his last email to all of us...

Till we meet again.

I am taking a moment to say goodbye to all of you from around the globe.

I reluctantly accepted the early retirement package and will be leaving Nordson effective December 19, 2008. I am sending this message early, so if there are questions that I may be able to help you with, I will still have access to this e-mail system.

I thank you for the life experiences that we have shared through our related ventures.

It was distinct pleasure to have worked with all of you. I will cherish the memories of each and every one of you.

Thank you for the opportunities provided to me during our various meetings and activities.

May your future be rewarded with prosperity and good fortune.

Best Wishes

The first time I met Chris was at a family reunion in Buffalo, NY in 1984. Joe and I had been married for almost year and our first son, DJ, was only a few months old, (I have a picture of Geoff, approx. 2 yrs old?, pushing DJ. It was a little intimidating for me since Joe's family was so big, but Chris broke the ice for me and made me really feel like part of the family. Joe and I met while in the Army and stationed in Germany. We got married in Denmark because it was easier, (paperwork). So during this family reunion the family threw us a wedding shower. Part of Chris' gift to us was a cheese 'danish' with 2 green army men on top, one of which had a white veil. This was Chris' wonderful sense of humor - to give us our special wedding cake with appropriate wedding toppers! We love you Uncle Chris and will miss you dearly! Joe and Celine Ehrnschwender

I am saddened to know that Chris has passed away. He was a person who always enjoyed life and passed that enjoyment to those around him.

Chris was always a joyous person to work with. He always had a smile on his face weather talking shop or telling stories about him and the grandkids. He had a wealth of knowledge and was a pleasure to work with. Bradley Carter Springdale, AR.

On one of our trips to Shanghi we were to meet our host in the hotel lobby. When we were all together, since my hair was wet from the shower, Chris announced that I had the wet head look and everyone laughed. Yes, I replied, but you have to have hair to have the wet head look. Every one roared,
On a visit to Brazil we went to a club after work to relax. The countries drink was (spelling phoneticall) Cai Parenia. The champ of the office drank some time earlier. Our host had 2 that night and I had 1 and was really drunk on that. Chris drank 11, setting a record that I know still stands.
Chris told me he was looking forward to the saurquot at Thanks Day dinner. I can't imagine the flavors blending but they did him.
Stories could continue for Venezuela, Japan, Australia and lots of other locations and times, but we can talk about them when we meet again.
Well my old friend, life is not supposed to go this way. You've taken the short cut to Heaven and all will miss you. We all hope to see you again.
Ed
