CHRIS AND I WORKED ON WASHINGTON BLVD FOR
YEARS AND HE WAS SUCH A GOOD MAN AND CATHOLIC,
AND HE TAUGHT ME MANY THINGS ABOUT THE BLESSED MOTHER. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING HE TAUGHT ME
WAS THAT WHEN YOU NEED A FAVOR JUST ASK HER
FOR HER HELP. JUST CALL HER MARY WHEN YOU ARE TALKING TO HER AND SHE WILL HELP YOU.
GOD BLESS CHRIS, JOE KILCHENSTEIN

Deepest sympathy to your family. Chris was such a nice man. I had many a conversation with him while he worked protecting me at the Federal Courthouse. What a delightful man. Rest with God.
