I went to platt high school with Chris. Always thought of him as a friend. Chris was a great guy in school and I am sure he continued through his life. I taught for many. Years also. My Sympathies to Arlene´s and his children. I wish we had connected. R.I.P. Chris.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Christian was my sixth grade teacher at Thomas Hooker School in Meriden. I have never forgotten him. He was a wonderful teacher and an inspiration to me!

Our sons went to Paterson when Chris was principal there. We were always impressed by his friendliness and the way he interacted with the students. We felt so lucky to have him as the administrator of their school. Our sincere condolences, The Joseloff Family

My condolences, he was a great person who will be missed by many. Rest In Peace.

Sending our deepest sympathy and condolences. Moe and Caroline Schwartzmann and daughters - Kris, Kelly and Kerry

Both my daughters went to Elm Hill Elementary School where Mr. Decker was the principal. He was a wonderful person and principal. He would call me at home to alert me that our dog was at the school grounds. He was a wonderful person and my condolences to his family.

I had the good fortune to have Chris as my first principal in my teaching career at EG and then the privilege of having his granddaughter in my class! I will always remember his support, kindness, sense of humor, and positive attitude. Most of all, his "family first" mentality for himself and his staff. He kept us all grounded. My sincere condolences to his wife, daughters and grandchildren that meant the world to him. Wishing you all comfort at this difficult time.

Our love, thoughts & prayers are with you all. You were Blessed to have him & he was Blessed to have all of you.
