I am not sure what made me think of Chris, we grew up together in New Rochelle, he was a great guy, always humble. I am sorry to hear of his passing. When he worked at the NYAC, we had too much fun with Captain Harry and the yacht the Sholom. We spent many nights in his basement shooting pool with his mom upstairs, we called her the warden, what a great lady. I will miss you my old friends, see you in heaven. Tom Tierney

Please accept my condolences. Chris was one of the friendliest guys I ever met. A very welcoming person. Fordham brought a lot of fine people into my life, and he was one of them. I'll think of him when I'm out on the water, when it's bright, and the sails are full.

Dear Maher Family,
Chris was a dear friend and like a brother to me since the day we met at the Prep. We had so many wonderful times with our crew from school and then while working together in NYC. We had just reconnected this past year and it was so heartwarming to hear from him again. I wanted so much to be there for you and him today, to help send him off to the light and to peace. I'll have to say goodbye to him from California but he will always be in my heart.
Please accept my deepest sympathies,
Brian
