I met Chris while running for Mayor of New London. His passion for neighborhood revitilization and vision for New London was very impressive. I did not know he passed away until today because of his birthday notification. My condolences.

I only knew Chris a short time as my father-in-law hired him to work on his boat,doing some planking. I immediately knew he had a deep passion for wooded boats. As I watched him work I learned so much without even asking a question. He was an incredible individual,and I feel lucky to have met him. My sincerest condolences to his family.

I knew Chris from our high school era and at Yale. As everyone has said, he was brilliant, sometimes hilarious; he was kind to me during a hard period and will be dearly missed.
