Picture Chris sent me of Dexter relaxing on the boat

Its hard to imagine a world without Chris. I first met Chris at USF when he worked in the Budget Office. He was always a character and shared my sense of humor. I saw less of him when he moved to the St. Pete Campus in the College of Marine Science but he would stop in when he had to come across the bay for meetings. On beautiful days, Chris would email me pictures from his bayside window, sailboats and waves in the distance. We swapped pet stories and shared pictures of our fur kids. I hope Dexter will forgive Chris for leaving him and that he will still get out on the water to fish with another human. They were quite a pair. My condolences to the family. Chris is fondly remembered by his USF Tampa peers and friends.

Chris was my rock. Always steady, thoughtful, and ready to help me navigate the often turbulent world of university politics. My fondest memory is sharing each episode of Breaking Bad with him. I will miss him dearly. My deepest condolences to his family and friends.
