View Comments

• Dear Mr. Nunley, I live in Kirkland, Washington and have watched you on King 5 television in Seattle. When they said your name I thought I was hearing wrong but couldn't get to speak to anyone about it. I am so sorry to hear about your Father's Health.  My Mother, who's name was Evelyn Pauline Nunley was born in Logan, W. Virginia on July 19th, 1915 and died in Newark, De. in June,2007. Her Mother's Mother was Edna Nunley Kimbler and her Father was Dexter Nunley, Sr. I don't know if you are into Family History but I like hearing a bit about where I come from. My Mother married John Ratliff, Sr who was from Ashcamp, Ky. I still have Ratliff cousins that I keep in touch with.  Anyway.....one of the reasons I am contacting you is because I have letters that were written over 100 years ago between Dexter and Edna Nunley I would love to give them to someone who is doing Family History. If you can helpme...not now but when you have the time I would love hearing from you. Thanking you in advance..Betty Ratliff Marth.

• I am just learning of your departure from Seattle this evening. So sorry to see you go you were a pleasure to watch on the news. I think it’s extremely admirable of you to make this choice, to go home and care for your father. You’re a good son, God bless you and everything that you do. Hopefully we will see you in another year or two back here in the rainy northwest, best of luck to your Christopher

• Christopher, I am glad to hear that you are following your heart to help with your father. You are truly missed as our favorite Weatherman on King 5 news. You were always so kind and animated in your delivery. And thanks for loving all our dogs, even the Husky "dawgs". May God be with you wherever you go. Hope to see you soon back in Seattle delivering the weather.

• I started to notice someone was missing at King5. The dog loving bright young weather man! Reading this has really touched me. It sounds like your decision was a good one, for your family and your career.

• Christopher, so sorry you HAD to leave. Husband and I have been wondering for weeks now, if not months, where you are..I finally went on the "net" this a.m., to find out. You & Farah seemed to have such a "partner" relationship. It worked so well & made us sitting at home in 'TV Land' [yeah, I'm dating myself] in our robes, savoring that cuppa (no better cuppa than here in WA State) feel happy to have you two handle that Sat Morning "situation". So Christopher, bless you for doing what you had to do. Only "Big Dawgs" do what you did. We lift your family up in prayer & we miss you..but 'with understanding'.

• It is very sad to lose you here in Seattle, but our thoughts and prayers go with you. I derailed my career to stay with my father as well, best decision I ever made...it was amazing!

• Please come back when you are done caring for your father which is admirable. And King 5 u betta hire him back….he’s a good guy and I enjoyed watching him….

• Godspeed Christopher, you two will be missed

• Good luck Christopher. Safe journey. As a caregiver myself for my spouse I admire you for doing this for your father.

• I will miss Christopher’s kind spirit. Good luck to him and his family.
