My heartfelt condolences to Sarah and family. Chris was a very easygoing coworker while at GE San Jose. His depth and understanding of radiological engineering helped us resolve a number of Lungmen dose issues. He will be missed.

My deepest sympathy and prayers are with you and your girls. I worked with Chris both when he first started his career at River Bend, and then again most recently at Enercon these last few years. He was a great co-worker, extremely intelligent, and with a great sense of humor. When I left River Bend he was not married. When I recently connected with him again at Enercon, he was married and had a young family. He was so proud of his girls and you - his face just beamed with happiness when he talked about his girls, which was often. Please know that he touched a lot of lives and that he will be missed by so many. My husband also knew him through the Baton Rouge Soccer Association. Please know that many prayers are going out for you and your girls. Rest In Peace Chris.

I enjoyed working with Chris, he had an inquiring mind and could solve very specialized radiological engineering problems quickly. He had a high integrity. He was fun to work with, had lot's of interests, and could identify irony in any situation.
