May I share to honor Chris


I don't mean to state the obvious. My background is a survivor of a truck rollover and being thrown out of a vehicle. This has made me sick as I saw it develop last night. I would like to think if CH could look down and say something he would want me to do this. I was blessed that God allowed me to live but it was long recovery and I am disabled but have gained some mobility. I often hope that God can use my experience to serve others.                                          It was eerie as it was just 2 years and one week ago and now I see this happen to a kid who was making great strides in his life. I also remember the late Herb Brooks (Miracle on Ice Coach) who I had lived next door to many years back. He died in an accident similar to mine. The following is a copy of my post on Daily Norseman-



Really. You don’t know how deep this hit me. I spent some time looking at pictures of me with tubes all over. My wifes hand on my face and all I could think of was those poor kids of Chris’. Not me.
There are many days I wonder why I made it.
The dumb thing-I taught Dr. Ed. Here is what I want to remind folks in hope that it may save someone. I will never know but...


-WEAR THAT SEATBELT! and everyone in your car.
-Make sure the door is secure and lock it. Locking can prevent a door from popping open in a roll over. Lots of people don't know this. Locks are not for secuity from break-ins. They hold the latch from shifting.
-Don’t let anyone ride in the back of a pickup for any reason.                                                                                                       -Make sure you are alert. I had gotten up from an afternoon nap and was heading to a friends. Being even a little tired can slow your reaction time.
-Of course, don’t drink and drive. I had quit a year earlier and thank God I did not cause another to get hurt. Had that happened and I had a speck of alcohol the 5 month hospital stay would have not been my only nightmare

-Also be aware that non prescription meds can effect driving. It took one split second of avoiding a deer as I was not scanning the road. I had no time to determine if it was person or animal. I sure wasn't going to risk it. My tire caught in a soft shoulder and flipped as I tried to get back on the road.

God be with you Henry family and to the family of Bengals fans. We are together with you.

Thanks for letting me share in this very sad moment
