Not sure what to say?

High integrity, intellectually curious, respectful, open minded, and a friend to all - Chris was always engaging and cheerful. It was an honor to have known and worked with him. Our prayers and condolences to Cheri, his sons, and family.

I just learned this sad news from Cheryl Reeves when we bumped into each other at Wegmans. I worked with Chris for many years at Harris before we both retired. Bob and I also had the pleasure of being on a business trip to Charleston, SC with Chris and Cheri. Chris was all that has been written and more; someone who is never forgotten. We cherish the memories we have, and pray the family will find comfort and strength at this most difficult time of separation.

Chris' passing is so sad. He was a prince of a man. Zoe has already commented jointly for us but I wanted to add a few words. I only saw Chris at ice dance weekends but it was always great to see him and a highlight of my weekends. It was always great to discuss engineering or amateur radio issues with him in between the skating and he always had a positive word to say about everything. He was a great friend and he will be sorely missed.

My condolences to Cheri and family. I will truly miss seeing Chris at the rink with his great laugh, sense of humor and ability to make his fellow skaters feel better about themselves.

I am saddened and shocked to learn of Chris' passing. I worked with him for many years at Harris where he had the ability and willingness to cross many disciplines to solve problems. We were also members of the Antique Wireless Association where we enjoyed vintage radio flea markets. My thoughts are with the family

I first met Chris 20 years ago as a new college hire. Over the years I came to respect and appreciate his knowledge and courteousness greatly. Each time we crossed paths, he had a friendly word or inquiry that showed his genuine interest. I am deeply saddened by his passing and offer sincere condolences to his family.

What sad news - Cheri and the whole family are in our thoughts and prayers. Chris recruited me to RF many years ago and the extra effort he made to welcome our family to the Rochester area will never be forgotten. He was a true professional to work with and I always enjoyed discussions with Chris and his keen sense of humor.

I worked for Chris in the early 80's and learned quite a bit from him. He was a very good boss. I never once saw him lose his temper. His strength of character is an example for us all. I will miss him. I offer my deepest condolences to his family.

My deepest sympathies to Cheri and the Jones family upon the occasion of this sad and unexpected news. Being British I easily recognise a gentleman and Chris was well qualified in that category!! Kind regards from your friend at the JCC swimming pool.
