Random Thoughts

I would like to send my condolences to the family and friends of Christopher "Toffee" Garlan who passed away last Tuesday. He was under a comma after undergoing an open heart surgery that would supposedly replace two out of the 4 valves in his heart.

I first met Chris when we were under the Special Applications Team (SAT 4 am). I fondly remember Chris as a very hardworking individual, always trying his best to improve in what he does. He was one of the more "technically gifted", guys I've known and he was always willing to share it to colleagues who asked for technical inquiries.

His stature is exactly the opposite of what this guy really is. When you see him at first, about 5'10, long and lanky frame with a huge voice you'll find it hard not to be intimated and at a point be scared of him. But Chris as a person, once you get to know him is a sensitive individual, "gentle giant", as the term implies.

We'll miss you but at the same time we're happy for you because as your email read "If I won't make it through, be happy still... for you know that I'm in good hands, There can be no other place much better than with God."
