I feel I've must have been in a time warp as I swear I just talked to Chris recently... I guess time is really flying now at our age. I didn't realize he was so close on the edge as he sounded good on the phone. I still have all those Apple games he used to share with us all. He was responsible for getting me into computing when he came over with his brand new Apple II. That was the spring of 1978, just a few months after it's release. I remember it well. He will be missed.

I didn't know Chris personally, but I greatly enjoyed the Apple II games he created and had many fun-filled hours playing them. My sympathies and condolences go to the family.

Chris was an exceptionally talented and innovative game programmer who I met and befriended early in my own career at the Elektrik Keyboard store in Chicago. He will be missed.

To Christian,
an early Apple II programmer. The kind of those who made us dream.
Thank you, we will miss you,
Antoine
