We have established this Scholarship in memory of our youngest son, Chris, who was
the light of our lives. He was a Piper, US Marine, sailor, divemaster, member of the SCV, airboater, 3rd year Engineering student and a brother to all who worked with him at Bell South. Chris put a lot of living into his 32 years! He is survived by his Mother, Alexis, Father, Charles (FL Commissioner for Clan Gunn & Regional Commander of SAMS)
as well as his 2 brothers & closest pals, Cevin & Cameron.

The poem was written
for Chris by Tom Grimm, Chris'
friend at Bell South & presented
to us at his Wake:

Laddie, you were the driving force behind Alexis Malcolm Kilts. Our Spirit Child, in touch with your Celtic Heritage, the magic of Piping and the splendor of wearing your kilts ( as well as that Campaign Cover!).                                The sight of your Pipes sitting on top of their case in your room, forever silent, is almost more than we can bear.
As you loved to say.."Piping is Life & the rest doesn't matter!" God speed, Chris, on your next deployment....SEMPER FI, LAD, SEMPER FI !!
