Dear Ellie and family, I am very sad to hear about the death of Chris. My prayers and thoughts go out to all the family. Chris was a very good customer of ours at our Restaurant Sam's Oasis.

I know what you all our going through I lost Sam on December 18 2007. My sympathy to all.

I will hugely miss Chris and the wonderful cigar discussions we had on so many occasions. Chris's wonderful personality, intellect and genuine integrity made him a man that was great fun to be with but also a man you could 101% trust with your life! Chris will forever have my admiration and respect as a very special man and very special friend rarely found in...

Dear Ellie,

The past few years, Chris has filled a big hole in our lives -and now sadly he's left us with another. He was a wonderful man - they don't make them like that anymore, not even in Greece! Our deepest sympathy, and lots of love.

Linda, Jim and family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers. What a beautiful family he has as his legacy.
