Chris's 50th birthday would have been this Saturday, May 12th. Our family will be spreading his ashes at places where he spent some of the best times of his short life. I miss him everyday, he was not only my brother but one of the best people I've ever known. I loved him very much.

My condolences to family and friends of Chris. I am just finding out today that he has passed on, and I am grieved.

Chris delivered our mail with such zeal and consideration, that when he took leave, it was noticed immediately. I have been awaiting his return and wondering when he would be coming back. I was anxious to tell him all the horror stories of our mail delivery.

Chris was SUCH A NICE gentleman. I am really saddened by the news and in knowing I will never see Chris...

For twenty years way more than bringing mail, Chris was a great friend to every one of us. Will be missed indeed. Condolences to family.

So sorry to hear of Chris' passing. I remember him as a friendly and an outgoing classmate. I moved away years ago and have never made one single reunion, because there will always be another reunion. He was one of the good ones.

Dear Tim, Kate, and family,

Words can not express how sorry we were to hear about your loss. We hope that you find comfort in the fact that Chris was a good person and that now he is in heaven. It is important to remember that this is not the end. This is not forever. Someday you will see Chris again. He will be there to greet each member of your family when they enter the gates of heaven. May God be with your family at this difficult time, and may Chris be blessed with eternal...

Tim and your family

Just heard about Chris....Words can not express my deepest saddness. I know what it is to lose a family member. My younger brother past away in 1980. I know at the present it's feels like it will not get better, but it will. I promise. You and Family will be in prayers. If there is anything at all I can do, please contact me. Even if you just need to talk. I will be there.

I am a paralegal at a small law firm in Camden NJ and Chris was our mail carrier. I was so saddened to learn that I would never see Chris again. He was a truly nice guy and it was always a pleasure to see him come through the door. For instance, once I sent a package out without the necessary apartment number on it. Generally this would just be sent back by mail and you would have to repackage the whole thing, but Chris personally brought it back to the office so that I could write the number...

As a friend and excoworker of Chris, I feel like some doors are closing for good. Chris was a gentelman, nice person to work with and a good friend....many time he help me and I always count on him....Chris you will be miss dearly and will always be in my heart...much love for you and your family.
