Chris Northcliffe was a kind and gentle man. He and I instantly connected through our love of Democratic politics. We first met when I organized an opposition demonstration to our republican representative's townhall meeting last summer. He was a champion of the progressive cause and a wonderful human being.

I will miss you forever, Chris.
