Chris was my leading man when we had the lead roles in the Seton/Calvert Hall musical "Little Mary Sunshine" in 1964. I was sorry to read of his passing. Remembrance and happy memories from Little Mary to Captain Jim.

Chris and family were our good neighbors for over 20 years. Our kids walked to school together. First memory that came to mind on learning of Chris passing was the time I borrowed his extension ladder to cut some limbs out of our tree. I damaged it. When I offered to replace it he said not to worry, he didn´t need it anymore, just keep it. Still have the undamaged half.
Our sympathy to Dee and the boys and our admiration for his life well lived.

Chris hired me with the Gibbens Co. and we remained friends until his passing. He remained a constant inspiration over the years as I started my own business and he was a big supporter of my endeavors. Just a tremendous friend!

I was so sorry to read of your loss and wanted to offer my sincere condolences. Losing someone in death is one of the most heart wrenching things we endure. Please take comfort in all the memories you have, find hope in the scriptures and gain strength from the power of prayer.
