I attended Country Lane Elementary School, Rogers Junior High School, and Prospect High School with Chris. I always considered him and his sister to be kind and caring people. I did not keep in touch with Chris after graduation. I clearly wish his surviving family my warmest and most genuine thoughts during this troubled time.
