Please accept our deepest sympathy in these hard times.
Chris was a trusted, competent and always cheerful colleague of mine at PA Semi. We often interacted - unfortunately only over the phone - on customer matters and I enjoyed very much working with him. He will be sorely missed.
Having three children of our own, we can not begin to grasp the loss you are experiencing. We wish you all a lot of strength and strong will to get through these difficult times.
In thoughts with you,
Stefan, Irene and family

My thoughts and prayers go out to you at this difficult time. I was Chris's manager at Agere Systems for a time. He was wonderful to work with. Chris was always so knowledgeable and professional. You should know that his customers and co-workers deeply respected him. Chris never hesitated to help other team members and he was known for his great positive attitude. I will certainly miss Chris.

Although as cousins, I did not have the pleasure of growing up closely with Chris, I did recently have the privelege of hearing him speak at Frank's service.
He truly left me speechless and I can now understand why people speak of him as they do. Such a warm and caring individual whom I am sure touched many lives.
My heart goes out to Lyn and the kids, and of course Aunt Sis, Linda, Eve and Art. We love you!
