I met Chris in September 1983 at Southern Connecticut and we'd had a decades-long close friendship. He was one of the friendliest, most positive, enthusiastic, funny and loving people I've ever known and I will miss him very much. My deepest sympathies to Fiona, Jake, and Dottie.

So sorry for your loss. Chris was one great person who basically raised me in his days at my father's restaurant Gennaros. I still remember being the ball girl on the many late night pool volleyball games. This is truly so sad. He is one person I can honestly say I loved and looked up to.
