I used to work with Chris a very long time ago at the USDA I can say he ALWAYS had a smile. Which always made you feel good (even if you were crawling out of a VERY HOT FIELD of sugar cane) May he join his lovely wife in heaven

My great summer woodsman and cousin. Not much contact in our adult lives, but spent all summer together when he stayed with our grandmother Sarah Finger in VT.
Hunt well my friend!

I am so sorry about Chris passing. I knew him from his work at the USDA Sugar Station in Houma. He always had a big smile and had an answer for many questing on insects and sugarcane and vegetable production. My thought's and prayers go out to his family in this time of loss of a good man.
