I want to express my condolences to the Moses family. I worked with Chris at Auto Zone for many years side by side. He was like a brother to me. Some of the best days of my life were with chris. I had no contact with chris for years until about a two months when i found him through facebook. I talked with him about a month ago in Houston for about an hour. I am so thankful to talk with him. I know he will be missed dearly. He loved his father,mother and daughter so much. Am so sorry for your loss. Jimmy Bordelon
