Just received a call from Carol Baumohl, our good Friend, LCSCA Life Member, and past Board member and Treasurer Chris passed away suddenly last night. His health had prevented him being active in the organization for the past few years; but those of us who knew Chris will always remember his bubbly personality, his laughter, his smile, his generosity, and as a wonderful Friend. Please keep Carol and his son David in your thoughts and prayers.

I had just texted with him. He was my good friend and I’m going to really miss him

Such sad news indeed!
Even with all of his previous health issues, Chris was always upbeat during our conversations, and Linda and I enjoyed having supper with Chris, Carol, and David when they visited during Davids time stationed here in VA Beach. His health may have let him down, but his sense of humor never failed him! Our prayers are for Chris and the family, and we'll sure miss him.

Tom, that is terrible news, I had spoken with Chris in October and I always asked him how he was doing. After his stroke we talked and he told me he could remember past things but had trouble with new things, and said he could still hid his own Easter eggs.
I will miss him and his stories. God Bless.

Such sad news. I heard last evening and am just stunned. We used to text (at all hours) for no real reason. After a random
"U good?", we might get tired of typing and just call and talk. His & Carol's hospitality when I'd visit was so genuine. Chris was just so...unique. His vast knowledge, his quick wit, his love of family and friends, his adventurous nature. All this and more made him a special person & friend. I am going to miss my friend...

I was just thinking about Chris the other day. Had a lot of good times together at the Southern over the years. Prayers to his family. RIP My Friend.
