Not sure what to say?

Our sincere condolences to Susan and the rest of Chris's family. He will be missed.

I attend Sue's exercise class on zoom with Chris by her side. Sue is very fit, and I'm more like Chris, a little slower yet determined. So I would follow Chris's movements because if I tried to keep up with Sue I would suffer the next day. Just found out another thing Chris and I have in common - we are both Virgos. I knew I liked him. Sending loving condolences to you, Sue and your family.

I am in Sue's SRJC Zoom fitness class and I was always impressed that Chris would show up every class and exercise in his own special casual style next to Sue. That laid back way he exercised always tickled me and put a smile on my face. He was a great guy and I will miss his participation and music trivia info.

When you look up the definition of the word "chill" in the dictionary, as in "laid back, relaxed, calm," Chris's photo is there. I have seen Chris glide through situations which most other people would consider to be stressful. He was a joy to be with.
