Chris - I'm still having a tough time knowing you've left us, but the memories of our friendship will always be there. I'm so grateful that we had the opportunity to spend the spring and summer together in 2012. To all the great times we had during a friendship that lasted almost 55 years. My condolences to Jan, Scott and everyone who was close to you. Rest in peace, my friend. I'll miss you so much.

Chris was a great friend to my husband and I. Chris taught Stu some of his wrestling moves and as far as myself we kept in touch throughout high school and into his adult life. He was a real sweetie. Anne Craig Rubin

Chris "Blackie" and to some of his F&M teammates "Beefy" set the standard for dedication and performance. Prior to his injury in the 1972 NCAA Division 1 Wrestling Championships, he was without doubt, among the top 3 in his weight class in the NCAA. A terrific wrestler yes, but a way more impressive and kind person. So sad to hear of Blackie's passing. My condolences to his brother Scott and his wife of 30 years.
