I have only just heard that Chris is deceased. I knew him many years ago when we worked together in Valbonne, France. Alas we had lost touch with one another as our careers took us apart.
He was a very kind person with a wonderfully caustic sense of humour, being particularly scathing about management foibles. It was impressive to see him launch into chess so successfully at a relatively late age. And it was wonderful to see him also settle down under the influence of Vesna.
My condolences to the family.

It is with saddeness that I heard about the terrible story.
I met Chris when he and I were working for Digital Equipment Corporation in Sophia Antipolis, South of France.
He was a very friendly person, very knowledgeable, and we had great discussions about culture, painting and the impressionnists... And on DEC products too ...
Although he was excellent to speak french, I recall the 1to1 lessons I gave him to focus on only one thing: how you pronounce "R" in french words, as the American and french prononciations are quite different.
I still recall trying to explain and mimicking with him from where in the mouth the "RR" should come to prononce it "the french way".
Just an illustration on how he want to be exact in whatever he was doing.
My sincere condoleances to his family.

I was lucky enough to know Chris in Valbonne, France, in the late 80s, early 90s. Chris was the ultimate trip advisor - we'd go on weekend trips, taking public transport and staying in cheap hotels, and Chris would do hours of research on the towns, the museums, and especially the artwork. He always knew exactly where to go to find the best Caravaggio, and of course he'd know the back-story - why Caravaggio painted that subject, why his use of light was innovative, and what effect it had on The Future Of Art. I remember Chris being totally calm and collected in the face of all the details and variations of getting a gang of 6 or 8 people around 3 cities and 8 museums and umpteen restaurants and snack stops. But my greatest memory of Chris was that he was an all-round Nice Guy. I'm very glad t have known him, even for a short time.
I managed to find a handful of pictures of Chris way back when, when I knew him. I've posted them on snapfish at http://bit.ly/IaQ0Pt .
To Vesna and Chris's family and to all those that knew and loved him, I'm truly sorry for your loss. He was one of the good guys.

"Draga Vesna, Mnogo nas je potresla zalosna vest o Chrisu. Primi nase iskreno i duboko saucesce. Bolni dogadjaji moraju da se odboluju. Najteze pada iznenadnost, nepripremljenost, nemocnost. Sve bi dala, sve bi ucinila da se to nije dogodilo, ali si nemocna. Niko tu ne moze da pomogne. Jedino je vreme to koje ce uciniti da to shvatis, prihvatis i kad-tad se sa time pomiris. Veruj nam da duboko saosecamo i razumemo kako se osecas, jer smo to vise doziveli. Nadamo se da cemo se uskoro videti i podeliti bolove. Puno srdacnih pozdrava od Nicole i Mise."

I'm lost for words… it is so sad.
Sophie and I have just been in Florence and we were telling stories of being there with Chris. The first time I ever went it was just me and Chris.. I learned more about the place than any guide book could tell you.
He will be sorely missed. Our hearts go out to Vesna.

What a tragedy !! The roads are so dangerous and young people don't realize it. Flaming youth !!
I am very shocked because I really liked Chris. He was a great guy. I'm so sorry for his wife and family; it must be a huge shock and great sorrow. Give them all my condolences.
Nannique never met him. But I remember seeing Chris for the first time after I arrived in Valbonne. I believe he was in Maxime Boulad's outfit of super consultants and I attended a presentation he gave on networking. I really liked his style and his southern drawl. Network security was the subject we all had on our minds and I was with Dave Monahan who was asking Chris all the difficult questions. But I remember Chris taking time to discuss and give answers. At that time I didn't understand much about it all.
I know you took over from Chris and I believe he went to Paris after that.
I wish all the best for his wife and family. I may have met her, but I can't really remember the large reunions from those times in the late 80s.

I am so sad for Vesna. Chris was a joy to know, a lovely man and she must be in agony. My love of and knowledge of Italy is all thanks to his great curiosity and wonderful story telling based on all his research. My life on the Riviera would not have been the same without him. Even now, I can see him so well, in the canteen at Digital, at so many dinner parties, on so many weekend explorations of Italy and Spain, ski holidays and always laughing.

Betsy and I are personally very shocked and also in disbelief. The only reason we had the opportunity of a lifetime to live and work in Valbonne and to know all of you on this distribution list was because of Chris. We owe him greatly. By immense coincidence we bumped into Vesna, also on vacation but sadly without Chris, at Leroi Merlan when we were in France last July. We understood that Chris was just a few months away from retirement. Sadly, Lee

At this time we still remain deeply shocked and saddened at the loss of Chris in this tragedy. It is with heartfelt sympathy that we pass this along. We will never forget the wonderful visits we had with both of you. Whether it was a longer stay or a quick stop for a few hours on a summer afternoon, Chris always greeted us with a warm welcome and endless hospitality. Once, knowing he could not join us due to work commitments, he took the time to prepare an entire meal the night before for us to enjoy the following day. Later that day, he called to make sure everything went well. It says a lot about a man who had such consideration for other people. What a kind thing to do. Chris Reams was a wonderful man with deep integrity who will never be forgotten. We will always remember his smiling face and generous heart. As he now watches over you Vesna, may your memories bring you comfort in the days ahead. With love, Greg & Lynette

Ma chère chère Vesna,
Je n'arrive pas à croire que "ton amour" ton Chris n'est plus là..J'ai lu ton message hier soir juste avant d'aller me coucher et impossible de dormir...J'ai tourné en boucle tous les instants merveilleux que nous avons passés ensemble..Je regrette n'avoir pû aller vous rendre visite en Virginie, mais la vie n'est pas si simple..
Se rencontrer aussi sur Antibes...Mais peut-être y arriverons nous..je sais que pour l'instant tu es ds cette immense douleur, le futur pour toi sans ton Chris ce ne sera pas facile..Peut-être avec le temps mais perdre un être aussi cher à son coeur c'est terrible..Vous resterez pour moi un couple si attentionné envers l'autre, si amoureux l'un de l'autre, magnifique...
Ma Laurence qui habite donc en Amérique a donné des ordres afin qu'une chandelle soit allumée durant en 1 an à la mémoire de "ton merveilleux Chris"..Le 24 Novembre je serai près de toi, de votre famille, en pensée..
D'ici quelques temps je te téléphonerai pour prendre de tes nouvelles ma chère chère Vesna...
Je t'écrirai aussi à nouveau pour te parler un peu de nous mais pour le moment c'est ton immense chagrin, ce vide autour de toi..Tu es quelqu'un de super et je sais que tu vas arriver à essayer de revivre mais doucement doucement..
Je te serre dans mes bras fort fort...
Je t'embrasse doucement.
Ton amie pleine de tristesse pour toi Nicole

Chris and I met in 1986 on the French Riviera where we both
worked at DEC (Digital Equipment Corporation).
We met on the tennis court, but quickly became good friends
since we shared many common interests and values.
Chris became a frequent guest at our home, and, eventually,
a dear brother-in-law. Vesna and Chris turned out to be a
perfect match!
Chris was the go-to person for information on virtually
any subject -- from art, literature, popular culture,
travel, hi-tech, to current affairs. His calm, measured
words were usually the end of any debates we had.
Unlike most expatriates in France, Chris took learning the
French language, culture, history, and cuisine very
seriously. This was followed by learning Italian and
frequent travels to that country with a ton of books
in his suitcase.
However, chess was the passion that we both shared. We
played in the same clubs and went to many tournaments
together. When Vesna and Chris left France, we continued
playing on-line. I started as a much stronger player,
coming from a culture where chess is a household toy.
But Chris would not have it. He resorted to what any
true intellectual would do: he approached chess by
studying the theory systematically, and, needless to say,
I haven't won too many games afterwards.
Chris' erudition, politeness, kindness and wit will always
be remembered and missed.

Dearest Vesna, I'm at a loss for the words to tell you how sad and shocked I've been since hearing about the sudden loss of your dear husband. My heart aches so much for you. I wish I could reach out and give you a hug and hold you close. You are always so sweet and loving to everyone, and I feel so fortunate we're friends. I missed seeing you at the monthly meeting, since your cheerfulness always lights up the room. I know you have been surrounded by loving friends at this time, but please let me know if you can think of anything I can do to help you. I would be happy to pick you up and take you to any appointments, and I'd like very much to join Janet in her sincere offer to take you to lunch as soon as your able. I've heard that you are well stocked with food items, so please put me to work elsewhere! All week long I've felt your pain, and will pray that in time you will find some relief. Many hugs, Sue C.

We have not met, but I worked with Chris in Valbonne, and had lost contact with him since 1992 when we returned to the US. I was saddened and appalled to hear what has happened to him. Chris was a fine, kind, gentle and very honorable person who would always do what was right for his clients. He was great to work with. I am very saddened that he has been taken from you by such a senseless accident. This will not be of much comfort to you, but because of his many friends contacting each other over the news, many of us, me included have re- made contact with people we have lost touch with over the years – think of it as a blessing from Chris We will keep you and Chris in our thoughts.

It’s Barbara – who used to be with Terry. I hope that writing helps you and doesn’t just cause you pain. I have the fondest memories of your laughter and the greatest smiles and deepest love in the face of Chris when he looked at you. He was a wonderful man, who without doubt, added magic to my life on the Riviera. Knowing that you created so much magic in his life means knowing that he got double value from his time that was unfairly limited. Chris was a precious friend. He was frequently the tour guide in our gang's weekends away to Italy and Spain, armed with 4 different guide books - about food, accommodation, culture and travel. He brought history alive, with his wonderful story telling. He found the wonderful hidden gem restaurants. He was a one man avalanche when he lost control at ski school as we were all sorted into our classes of respective skill levels. He was a charming, intelligent, happy, giving man – though clearly you know that better than anyone else on the plant. I could myself lucky to have been considered a friend. Thank you Chris, for the laughter, memories and discoveries. Vesna, I know that you have around you a great circle of loving friends and family. Like Chris, you warm the hearts of those around you. I hope that all the feelings of love, support and understanding will help you through this cold dark time.
