I'm so sad to hear this. I worked with Chris at the Fullerton News Tribune. Being a well known sports reporter was a dream back then but I knew he would do it. Was so happy for his success through the years. My thoughts and prayers to his family.

Christopher please ask Mom to help in asking all the angels to bless me with a miracle, please help me in Jesus name I pray.

Wow, I must have missed Chris' passing a year ago. I am so sorry to hear of it. He was one of the very best Times' sportswriters and I enjoyed especially his college football coverage. You could always trust Chris' reporting and his opinions on the games. My condolences to all of his family.
