God Speed Sir. This made my heart hurt. Chris was an awesome guy! He was a man of few words, but funny as heck, and loved good music! We talked about bands a lot! Hope you had a great last waltz Christabell <3

We developed a friendship with Chris almost immediately after arriving here at 10 Wilmington Place. He was very kind and also quite helpful with any problem we ran into here. We have missed his kindness since his first illness. We send our sincere sympathy to his family and also Rebecca.

So sad and sorrowful to hear Chris has passed. He was part of our family for many years. Rebeka was always by his side through the good and bad times. I know she is so distraught and I send my sympathizes to all his family. RIP Chris.
