In Memoriam: Chris Haycocks

Chris Haycocks, my uncle, passed away today at 7:30 a.m. He was an interesting man who loved his family, rugby, and mining. He taught mining science for the longest time at Virginia Tech  and also lived in Africa for a stretch. While he could be acerbic in his wit, he was still a good man who raised three sons to be outstanding people. Ultimately, a man can’t ask for more from this life than to be remembered, and as such, I remember my uncle Chris.

    I was saddened by the news. It was too soon for him to go. Apparently he passed away suddenly.

    I thought that he was doing well in Vegas. Your uncle was full of fun, candor and honesty. All of us in the Mining Department are proud of him for all of his accomplishments and being a good person and a friend to everyone.

    Please convey condolences from my wife Myungshin and me to Ramonda and his family.
