Marie, Matt and Mike,
I will always remember Chris as someone who always had time to listen, a person who cared for other people and took life as it came. He was a great friend and I have only the fondest memories of the time I had with Chris.

MARIE, AS I SAID TO YOU ON FACEBOOK,I NEVER REALLY KNEW CHRIS THAT WELL WHILE WE PLAYED IN THE BAND FOR OVER 10 YEARS. IN THE LAST YEAR, I CAME TO KNOW CHRIS AND A GOOD FRIEND,A GOOD HUMAN WHO WAS NOT CONCERNED WITH HIMSELF,SO MUCH,AS HE WAS OTHER PEOPLE. HIS HUMOR WAS WITH HIM RIGHT UP TO THE TIME I SPOKE WITH HIM TWO WEEKS AGO. I WILL MISS HIM. BARBARA AND BETH AND SETH SEND THEIR CONDOLENCES.

It has been four decades since I last saw Chris. In the last few months, I had exchanged emails with him regarding our upcoming neighborhood reunion in Arlington, Mass. I will miss that and I regret that I will miss an opportunity to renew an old friendship. Chris was a good childhood friend, a great guitar player ( a second Jimi Hendrix in the making), and a pretty darn good athlete. One of my fondest memories of Chris was when a bunch of us would hang around the rock garden by our house...

Marie, Mrs. Coffey, Patty, Michael and Matthew,
Chris was a special friend and neighbor from a special time and place. We had the opportunity to visit and reminisce last spring up on Foxmeadow. He will be missed by all those that he touched with his friendship. My deepest sympathy to each of you. My prayers are with you in this difficult time.
