I had the pleasure of meeting Chris when he worked for me on the World Indoor Lacrosse Championships in Syracuse. He was a courteous, hard working, friendly and intelligent young man. He was incredibly mindful and caring and it breaks my heart that this fine young man was taken from the world this way. My sincere condolences to your entire family for this tragic loss.
