Not sure what to say?

I just heard about this and am so heartbroken. I enjoyed working with Chris for the 16 plus years as his legal assistant and office manager. Phyllis and he were friends and I loved them both dearly. They are together again now and may they both rest in peace. My prayers and condolences to his family.

Chris and I attended the same high school, St. Anthony's in Long Beach, California. We remained friends throughout his life. I did not know he had passed until now. To his siblings, stepchildren, and all who knew him ... he led a vibrant life, accomplished much, and helped many. Rest in peace. I am sure you will watch over us from heaven and defend us in God's courtroom. Well done, my friend.

I introduced Phyllis and Chris when she was working for me at the REAL ESTATE MART. She sold his home in Campos Commons around 1975. Chris was a wonderful and great husband. He was my attorney on two cases and without a doubt the best that I ever known. Chris will go down as one of my best friends that I was privileged to know. Karen and I had him over to our boat over the years for dinner or just a good visit and some tall tales along with a cigar and a cocktail or two. Reading his...

I met Chris over 30 years ago while I was working as a Deputy Sheriff in the Delta. Chris was coined the phrase by other Deputies as the mouth of the South, the official spokesperson for the Delta. Chris and I became instant friends, if you were in his inter-circle of friends, you were a made man. Chris was a practical joker, enjoyed tomfoolery and shenanigans. Chris was not only a great friend, he was also my mentor and my legal counsel. Chris was a devout catholic and a loving husband...

Shocked and so sorry for your loss, really sorry! I knew Chris not through legal work but true water business in the Delta. He was passionate and a strong advocate for Delta water rights. Rest in peace my friend.

Christopher, you will be and are missed everyday. Enjoyed our chats and knowing you. Behave yourself up there!!

Condolences to the Lee family. I am an old Delta client of Chris when he was still in the Sacramento office and wanted to expand. He was not only a great Lawyer, but a good friend. Rest in peace.
