Marie, Matt and Mike,
I will always remember Chris as someone who always had time to listen, a person who cared for other people and took life as it came. He was a great friend and I have only the fondest memories of the time I had with Chris.

MARIE, AS I SAID TO YOU ON FACEBOOK,I NEVER REALLY KNEW CHRIS THAT WELL WHILE WE PLAYED IN THE BAND FOR OVER 10 YEARS. IN THE LAST YEAR, I CAME TO KNOW CHRIS AND A GOOD FRIEND,A GOOD HUMAN WHO WAS NOT CONCERNED WITH HIMSELF,SO MUCH,AS HE WAS OTHER PEOPLE. HIS HUMOR WAS WITH HIM RIGHT UP TO THE TIME I SPOKE WITH HIM TWO WEEKS AGO. I WILL MISS HIM. BARBARA AND BETH AND SETH SEND THEIR CONDOLENCES.

It has been four decades since I last saw Chris. In the last few months, I had exchanged emails with him regarding our upcoming neighborhood reunion in Arlington, Mass. I will miss that and I regret that I will miss an opportunity to renew an old friendship. Chris was a good childhood friend, a great guitar player ( a second Jimi Hendrix in the making), and a pretty darn good athlete. One of my fondest memories of Chris was when a bunch of us would hang around the rock garden by our house and the Abboud's house. Our collie, Laddie,loved licking Chris' ears . . . . and Chris would laugh like crazy when Laddie did it. Of course, with Chris having that long, light hair, Laddie must have thought he was another dog !!
My condolences to all of Chris' family. Thanks for being parrt of my life, Chris. Rest in Peace.

Marie, Joshua, Matthew and Michael,
Sometimes there are no words other than those which not even need spoken. I hope you can find solace in the knowledge that you are loved and supported. "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal (From a headstone in Ireland).
Your love and faith as a family, as well as individually, is evident to all that know you. May you know that our loving thoughts and prayers are with you now, and always. This is a new chapter in all of our lives. "A human life is a story told by God" ~Hans Christian Anderson. God painted a wonderful life for Chris and based on his love, faith, and all around greatness, it makes a wonderful canvas for all those he left behind to add another chapter to the story.
