As many of you have already read, my wife of 42 years, Kris, passed away on Monday, October 8th.

Many of you knew Kris and how she enjoyed being a member of the GMC community.

She was active in many GMC Motorhome Owners clubs and organized the first chili cook-off
for the GMCMI rally in DuQuion in 2007. She worked very hard to make the GMC Eastern States
club rallies a success. The work rallies at Blaine and Dianes place were always a place
for friendship and working together to keep these coaches on the road.

One of her most memorable rallies was the joint GMC Eastern States/Great Lakers rally in
Paducah, KY in August 2017. With the help of Tom Whitton and John Pryzbylek, this rally
was a success and for those who attended and witnessed the total solar eclipse, this was
a rally that they will never forget.

I have included a link to her obituary.

Thank you, Larry. Our sympathy is with you and your family.

I remember Kris as always in the middle of whatever was going on. So sorry
for your loss. She definitely left her mark where ever she was.

God bless you all.

Larry,

We're so VERY sorry to hear of your (and our) loss. Elaine was especially
devastated: "Kris was one of my favorite people!"

I hope we'll see you at even more GMC events.

Larry,

Theresa and I are so sorry for your loss! We had no idea Kris had been ill. She was so enthusiastic and we always enjoyed her company at the rallies. Hang in there, and like Ken H. said, keep on attending GMC events.

Paula and I are deeply saddened by Kris's passing. Kris and Paula enjoyed great times hunting down the antique and thrift stores around the GMCMI rallies.

Here is a link to some photos when Kris dressed up as a rebel Sheriff and ousted Larry the name tag Sheriff at Amana rally fall 2012.
