Remembering Chris Kedzie
Our dear friend Chris Kedzie died on August 12, 2003 in Los Angeles, California, after a six-month battle with cancer. Chris was a loving husband, son, and father. He was also a wonderful friend to many around the world, and we are all fortunate to have known a remarkable and inspiring person. He is survived by his wife Ira, his daughters Sasha (9) and Shawna (5) and son Solan (1). He is also survived by his mom Joanne and sisters Jeannine and Claudia and their families.
