Donna Aiken wrote us to let us know that a memorial will be held this weekend for her son, Chris. You may remember that he was killed in the Metrolink Train Accident in California on September 12, 2008.He had grown up in Gasport and went to Royalton Hartland, graduating in 1988. He was laid to rest in California at the Conejo Mountain Memorial Park in Camarillo, California on Sept. 20, 2008.
The Aikens are having a Memorial Service for him on Saturday, October 11, 2008 @ 10:00 AM at the First English Lutheran Church, 185 Locust Street, Lockport.
His wife and twin daughters are flying from California for the service as well as many other relatives from out of state.
Chris was a well-respected man, beloved by people here in Gasport and in California. You can read some of the memories and praise for Christopher here:
