Chris was always open to give advice and counsel. He had old school grace and class. Lots of lessons from him. His business career is one of a pioneer. Hope his legacy and what he believed will never be forgotten. His kids who I know (Debbie and Brian) are great examples.

My deepest condolences to the Lang family on the passing of Chris. You are in my thoughts & prayers. Chris was a friend and mentor in so many ways to so many people. As a former employee early on in my career, it's very difficult to put into words the impact that Chris and his company's community had on my life personally and professionally. I am forever grateful and proud to have worked for not only a visionary but a genuine gentleman who put people's lives first always. God bless.

My deepest condolences to the Lang family, we lost a Great Man. Chris would always take the time to meet and listen to anyone with an idea. I still remember the day I called him about the Vatican Conference on Faith & Sports it seemed like yesterday... He took the time to meet with Stefano and me at his favorite spot "Richtree" located at Bayview and York Mills to discuss the Idea. He couldn't believe what I was requesting for us to collaborate together to make this Conference happened so he invited Malu to join us for the meeting and requested we travel to Italy together to validate our discussions. We made history after that by creating the first ever Global Conference of Faith & Sport held at the Vatican. Chris was a great innovator and his accomplishments are way too many to list. When he called me a friend it was very moving and I have felt proud knowing him and being a part of his life for the period we spent together. I will miss him very much. May God accept him into his Kingdom in Heaven he certainly belongs there. I will cherish the memories that we had together. Your Friend Jonathan

Chris will forever occupy a place in my heart for the love and kindness he extended to my dad and mum, John and Yvonne Grant. He was not only a respectful and caring nephew (John was a loving and loved younger brother of Chris' mum, Helen Grant Lang), he was a special older cousin to me, my sister Mary Ann and brother Steven. Our family will always treasure Chris' eloquent tribute to dad at his funeral.
To Joanne and Family, we send our love. Be assured that Chris' spirit will remain with us.
John and Pauline Grant and Family.

I had the great pleasure of meeting Chris at University. He was an athlete, fraternity brother and a leader. We parted after graduation but reconnected over the years at various places in Canada and elsewhere. Our common interest was sport -- more particularly Canadian sport and athletes. We both believed in the cultural value of all sport.
Occasionally we resided in the same city. At other times we came together on projects to enhance opportunities for Canadian teams and athletes. Often we met by surprise at events; Olympic Games, World Championships or a rink, a court a golf course or a stadium in or some other a far flung venue. We immediately reconnected because of that common cause.
Sport makes for strong bonds - Chris was a leader, a man of character in a field often more competitive than principled. He was perspicacious and astute advisory and mentor too many and a valued friend to those whose lives he touched. A true Canadian gentleman, family man and the best iteration of a Canadian sportsman.

Always will be grateful for his mentoring early in my life and will remember his big smile, his energy and sage advice.

Chris was a phenomenal uncle and godfather. We would get together whenever he was in town and they, along with the many times my mom Jenny and I spent visiting Toronto, are memories I hold close to my heart.
His pizza delivery joke , which is can still hear him say in a funny voice, when answering the phone will be missed.
It is never easy to say goodbye but, I am happy to know he is well in heaven.
Rest well Uncle Chris, we love and miss you. Xo Christine

Chris was a true mentor. It was an honour to have worked with him and the many "Langsters" My thoughts are with his family, friends and colleagues. May his legacy continue on forever. Pam Brodie
