Christopher B. McPherson passed away this morning after suffering a mild stroke last week. The doctor was expecting a full recovery so his passing wasn’t anticipated. Chris has been living with Parkinson's for many years and the treatments had been taking a toll on him. Chris was an musician, avid outdoorsman and loved sailing. He served as the Commodore of the Channel Islands Yacht Club (CIYC) in its early days where he was instrumental in taking the facilities from a concrete storage bunker to the entertainment center it is today. He was also instrumental in transforming the Base Photo Lab into a television production and multimedia facility for the ANG. Chris is survived by his daughter Christalee, son Scott, daughter in-law Erin; granddaughters Angel and husband Nick, Katrina and husband Jason, Adam and Elizabeth Heil and his great granddaughter of 6 months Sirena.

Chris retired in the mid 90s after 4 decades of service. He has many family members whose combined service is well over 100 years serving with the 146th. Retired: Chris Best & Erlene Best; Active: Scott McPherson, Erin McPherson and Adam Heil.

Chris was 80 and now joins his beloved wife of 52 years Louise who passed away in September 2006.
