Obituary: 
Chris Synodis, 58, passed away peacefully at home on November 22, 2005, after six years of living with multiple myeloma.

He is best remembered as a gentle and gifted acupuncturist who practiced in Olympia since 1989, and taught in the Japanese Acupuncture Program in Seattle. During his illness he mentored acupuncturists and he remained an active member of the healing community.

Chris was a lifelong student, pursuing buddhism, alternative education, and a variety of healing arts. He was an avid baseball fan, and a member of the Occidental College Baseball Hall of Fame.

He is survived by his wife Nancy Sullivan, his children Michael and Ana Synodis of Olympia and Phoenix, sisters Mary Lou Allen and Nikki Synodis, brother Paul Synodis, and mother Mary Synodis. He is also lovingly remembered by a large community of friends with whom he shared his kindness, talents, and irreverent humor.

A memorial service will be held at 3:00 p.m., Saturday, December 3, 2005 at Lien Hoa Temple, 1211 Wilson Street NE, Olympia.
