Dear Chris, You are ever in the thoughts of many of us at UC, Berkeley - a never-to-be-forgotten colleague and friend.

Thinking of all of you with big love and affection and grieving with you. I always appreciated every member of your family at our camp. Blessed to have met Chris and you all and sending out anything I can to help ease your suffering at this time. Heather Mitchell, Monkey Business Camp

Dear Jocelyn and family,
I am so terribly sad for you all. I wish I had had the privilege to know Chris. I loved the time we spent together this summer with the girls and getting to know you a bit. Your loss is too much to take in. Please know that I am thinking of you daily and sending you love. If there is ever anything I can do, please do not hesitate to ask.
With love,
Candace

My deepest sympathy to the Patti family and circle of loved ones. May the peace from God that surpasses all understanding be with you.

Chris was a brilliant colleague and always the smartest guy in the room. He was kind, and generous with his advice. He was an amazing man. He will be deeply missed by the Cal community and all of those who knew him. My condolences to his family.

This is a tremendous loss for the UC system in addition to his family. Chris thanks for your preps on the numerous lawsuits I was involved in over the years. Your counsel was always spot on. My deepest sympathy to your wonderful family who shared you with the rest of us.
