As we start a new CFL season, I remember Chris as aa sports analyst. He continues to be the voice of our league for me. Out here in SK, he is admired and missed.

My friend Chris. I´m happy and lucky enough to have known you. Your kindness was evident wherever you went as you always had admirers who wanted a picture with you and of course you were so good about it.
I will always remember the last time we spoke. Rest well my friend.
You are forever missed.

I am a huge fan of Chris Schultz as a player and commentator for the CFL..I always looked forward to the Thanksgiving show when he would grab the turkey leg and go to town!! The past few years without him on the panel were very bittersweet as was the news of his passing. Mr.Schultz-you are missed and will always be remembered.

I never had an opportunity to meet Chris Schultz. I know him from the CFL broadcasts. Chris was a great foil to Matt Dunigan, he had unique observations and knowlegeable comments about every game he was involved in broadcasting, and he was a fixture on the desk during many, many Grey Cups. I already miss his presence and his voice, and his 'gentle giant' persona on that TSN sports desk. RIP Chris Schultz; you will be greatly missed.

My memories of Chris Schulz go back many years to Aldershot High School. He would hang around occasionally with myself and several other people just to enjoy us venting off stress after writing a particularly important test or exam. Like his brother Mark, Chris was always well mannered and polite. I would occasionally watch him on T.S.N. and always enjoyed his commentaries. Sleep well Big Man.
