Dear Nathan,

Thank you so much for looking. Of course, that's the picture that the 
Chris's Family have asked for. I have already sent them the high res jpeg, 
which they are planning to use on his service sheet at his funeral.  One of 
the family lives just 2 miles from me. So I'll be delivering two large 
framed prints on Monday (one for his widow, Jan and one for his parents). 
Just very sad and a terrible waste. Truly awful for his widow, Jan and their 
three young children.

Best wishes,

Charlie Chan
