Dear Steve,Tina and Jeff, I have been blessed with the opportunity of knowing "Christos" for the past 11 years. I can still hear his "hey Kid" ringing in my ears, see his infamous smile, and feel his warm hand. Chris was so deeply loved for more reasons then one can say. Forever in my heart he will stay. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families. Michelle

To Steven,Tina,Jeff,and the rest of Chris's family, I worked with Chris at Cedars Steakhouse for the last eleven years and over that time we developed a friendship. Chris was really a funny guy and always came up with these names we'd call eachother. Chris had a big heart and was a gentleman. Oh! That hair!!!! Handsdown the best head of hair...always perfectly gelled... those curls! He always dressed handsomly. We would tease him about the fact that he probably ironed his boxers!! Chris made me laugh alot at work with the quick and crazy sayings he was known for. I'll miss him. I will think of him often and smile everytime I do. With love and prayers, Caroline

Chris,

I knew you so many years ago, and though our paths haven't crossed after all these years, your departure from this world will be greatly missed. I'll never forget California and the good ole' days in the "Heights".

With deepest sympathy to Steve, Tina and the rest of the family.

Tina Cygan and family.

I have worked with Chris for 11 years at Cedars Steakhouse in Foxwoods Casino. He was the best sales person I ever meet. His guests loved him. He was always teasing me. I can still see his sweet face smile at me when I would get mad at him, which then would make me smile back at him. One year, we both did a "motorcycle run" for charity. It was a wonderful sunny day, and Chris was happy. I will miss him so. We at the steakhouse were Chris's extended family. I like you to know that we all miss him... Jerilyn
