Our family would like to express our deep sorrow on the passing of Chris. Have not seen Chris iin many years but I recall all the fun we had as kids. We would ride our bikes to Pratt Wayne Woods, fish in the lagoons, normal antics of boys who grew up next door to each other. He will be missed.

My family would like to send our condolensces to the the Coulomb family. I am deeply saddened to hear the sudden loss of Chris. It seemed like only a short time ago we spoke and I'll remember the times we used to go to lunch or speak personally during our tenure at Merrill Lynch. Chris counseled me in good times and in bad times and I sincerely looked up to him as my mentor as I was learning my way in banking. He was as loyal a person as I have met and I offer my prayers and blessings to Chris's friends and family.

All of us at The Music Room are saddened by the loss of Chris Coulomb. We remember him fondly as a loyal customer and a loving and devoted father to Ben and Anne. He was always a strong participator in our musical events and celebrations, along with his family. His presence will be missed. Our hearts are with Mary, Ben and Anne at this difficult time.

My condolences to the Coulomb Family. Chris and I attended high school together. I offer prayers and blessings to each of you. Certainly Chris watches over all his loves now, keeping you in his embrace, as near as a breath. May you all find peace in his passing.

To all of Chris' family,
I was saddened to hear of Chris' passing. I had not seen him in many years, but have great memories from high school, having had several classes with him. I asked about him whenever I would see Glen or Carol. May all of your memories comfort you now and in the weeks to come.

The two comments from Annie and Ms. Marsden perfectly sum up how I always thought of Chris: his deeply strong love for his family and "twisted humor." The world is an emptier, sadder and poorer place today.

I miss you and love you so much daddy. You're testing how big my brave is and I know you'll be proud

I was lucky enough to have met Chris at the new job I started last year - shortly before he had left for his surgery. I sat right across from him and he made me laugh every day. After only a few months of getting to know each other, I felt we were kidred spirits. We both had similar tastes in music, daughters who had an english class together, and a bit of a twisted humor. I have often commented that I miss him whenever someone says something that is a song lyric - because I know Chris would have been singing it. Coincidentally, Chris passed at the same time I was at my grandpas memorial services. I would like to think that they are both up there - singing and dancing - and not in any pain. My deepest sympathies go out to the Coulomb family. He talked about you so endearingly and I know that he loved you all so very much.
