Pop, I hadn't seen you since high school. I admired your cooless and intelligence way back then. I'm not surprised you've accomplished so much and had such an impact on so many. Taken from this world too early.. Rest in Peace.

I have so many memories of you I don't know which one to hold close. I will have to make a huge scrap book in my mind. Every time I saw you you made me smile. I am sure you are just prepping the great beyond for the best sound for when the rest of us arrive. My sincere condolences for all of his immediate family who were able to know him as others don't. For all of his friends too... it is a huge list.

I am in tears reading what has been written here about Christopher. I did not know him, but I've know his mother, Jolli, for many years, and she has spoken often of him. It's no surprise that she has such an outstanding son.
My deepest sympathies to Jolli and her family, I am so very sorry for your loss.

Pop, When Bob from East Coast Lighting called me to tell me what had happened I questioned him, are you sure? Then I called a few friends to confirm the sad news. Pop you were a very unique individual ... You had a personality everyone loved..I remember when I first met you and then you starting working @ Soundstage with our cast of characters... So sorry I have not seen you often since you joined the union...but I always thought of you and when I heard the sad news I said to myself I am going to miss Pop even though we kinda lost touch.. I will alweays consider you a great friend... RIP my brother...Say hello to Mike Grattage and Grimmace....

Pop! I've known you forever. You're an Icon, a Legend and the best friend a touring sound guy could ask for. You're gonna be missed brother. I'm guessing your hanging out with Würzel right now. I hope he lets you in the band, or at least lets you be his sound guy. Cheers mate!

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there; I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there; I did not die.
To live simply, with passion, humor, and fearlessly , is a life well lived ~ Thank You All for the inspiration !
Peace........
September 13, 2013
Pop is a great friend who will be missed eternally...Always told folks the story of the day we met and the ride to South County after another night at Babyhead...Memories of The recent show Pop produced last summer at Roots and his phone call afterwords to thank me for doing the show and being easy to work with. He enjoyed what we did and took time to say so. I wrote a song called "Richmond Street" that was inspired by Pop and fortunately he got to hear it that night and seemed pleased with his tribute. I'm glad for that and his friendship...Ride on Pop.

Pop my friend, why did you have to leave us so soon? I thought we would have so many more opportunities to hang out and reminisce. I only wish Kellie and I could have spent more time exploring all that is Providence with you, it's unofficial Mayor. Your passing will leave a void in RI that will never be filled again. I am proud to have known you and called you my friend. Safe travels and continue to live the dream where ever that may be. Until then....

What sudden and terrible news to hear you had passed. There was just no one like you, Pop. I believe I am more well rounded for having known you. I will fondly remember your unique and great sense of humor, your refreshing blunt delivery in conversation, your eclectic taste in music, your love for the simple things in life and the conversations we had about anything under the sun over beers. You will be missed greatly by myself and all who knew you. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family. Rest In Peace, my friend.

September 10, 2013
Pop was an old school friend of mine in the 80's. I can't count how many times my car sat in front of his house waiting to pick him up. Nightly rants of just hanging out with the crew, in the woods (of many sorts). Pop always had a spirit about him and a voice that stood out. I don't think he ever had an enemy. He captivated all with his raspy voice telling all sorts of stories, or tid bits. His mind, a sponge. I am proud to know Pop and call him my friend. We seldom saw each other with the way life takes people different places, But when we did it was genuine joy! I will miss you.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family & friends!

Pop - my classmate, fellow musician, Union brother, frequent postal customer, and most of all, generous, kind-hearted friend, you will be missed by so many. Anyone who was fortunate enough to have you touch their life in any of these capacities is lucky indeed. I am honored to have had the privilege to have our paths cross so many times throughout my life. The Labor Movement has lost one of its best soldiers, the local entertainment industry one of its brightest stars and the world one of its gentlest souls, and personally, my days will never be the same. Thank you for being such a big part of my life on so many occasions. Godspeed, My Friend

Met him when he was a kid, worked with him in a trade that he brought me into when he was a young man. We had many a heated conversation about anything/everything imaginable at 50+ feet in the air & never came to the ground mad once. The most honest guy I've ever known. Everything a brother should be. My wife & I loved him very much. He will be missed by all.

Few people make you feel true comraderie in life, but standing in his presence, you knew you were not alone. Pop brought that gift every day. Thanks Pop. - jim vickers
