The VirtualBoxwell Team is saddened to report the passing of Chris Raney.  Chris served on the Parnell staff in 1984, specifically in the Activity Yard.  He only worked the one summer, but went on to join Army, serving in Screaming Eagles Air Assault Division.  He went on to complete a masters degree and work for the postal service in Knoxville. He passed in May of 2010 at the age of 43, leaving behind a wife and stepson. We discovered Chris’s passing in our preparations for the staff reunion next year.
