I was meeting Chris on calls until very recently. I have known Chris for
at least two decades. He is a good friend, and a long-term,
level-headed, thoughtful contributor to the Haskell community.

just received rather shocking and very sad news. Iris Connect is a

for a long time. Matt Newell, the founder of Iris Connect, sent us an
email earlier today notifying us that Chris has passed away, suddenly.</div><div><br></div><div>I
don't know much more than this as of now, but as Chris was a board
