Not sure what to say?

I am so sorry to hear of Chris’ passing. He and my husband, Bob, practiced law together for many years from the Riden, Crawford & Jansen years to Riden, Watson and Goldstein. Now Bob, Chris, Tom and Jack are all together again in Heaven.
I’ll never forget one day, not long after my husband Bob had passed away, when Chris told me he’d been out of town and in a crowded place-I think an airport. He said he “saw” Bob! Chris was very serious and intent on letting me know that Bob was “okay”....

Chris was my first mentor in the law, and became a good friend these past ten years. What a good man he was! He would talk so fondly and proudly of his children and grandchildren. He was someone with whom you could share from the heart. I miss him, and know his family and loved ones must feel his loss keenly. Rest in peace, Chris.

Chris was my friend of 50 years. The weekly gatherings Susan and I shared in his apartment enjoying each others company helped get several of us through law school. Our visits to his home during the holidays when Zach and Katie were kids were always special.

Deepest sympathies to all the family, friends, students and those who lost this thoughtful gentle man, a great lawyer, a friend and colleague.

Our sincere condolences to Professor Ferguson's loved ones. Chris was a valued member of the ADR community and was widely respected for his expertise and passion for peacemaking, in his role as a mediator.
A wonderful man and a loss to our National Academy.

My condolences to Katie and Zach on the loss of their dad. I knew Chris when I worked for the clerks office. I remember he was always kind and patient. I will always remember him.

I knew Chris for many years and had cases with him. He was always professional and a very good advocate for his clients. My condolences to his family and friends.

A wonderful man, great outlook on life-always smiling and positive about life.

My deepest sympathy to the Ferguson Family for the loss of your loved one, Christopher Cupps, "Chris", and pray God sends you comfort, peace and strength.
