Chris and I worked together at Quest for years. He was always a pleasure to engage with; funny, kind, level headed and intelligent. Although my engagement with him was shallow by comparison to all the others he has left behind, I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to know him. He was a good man and will be missed.

My condolences to the Gaca family. I went to grammar and high school with Chris. I can't believe he has departed us, he was always a true gentleman that will be missed.

I would ask Chris a million questions at work and he always tried to help and support me. I'll never forget the moment I knew how much he cared about the people he worked with and how much he wanted the team he supported to be successful. He actually cared. I will miss Chris and may he rest in peace. Praying for Chris' family and sending my condolences <3

I was so shocked to hear this. Chris & I became friends while working together at Vizioncore/Quest/Dell. Even after I left, he sometimes came to me for tech support/advice, which I was more than glad to provide. He was never at a loss for words and we had many great conversations. My deepest condolences to Colleen and the children, and to all of Chris's family and friends. He will be missed.

I was just talking to him last Thursday - what a shocking and sad loss. I send my condolences to his family, on behalf of everyone on my team at Quest Software
Chris was a trusted colleague who was always willing to drop whatever he was doing to help out a coworker. He is going to be sorely missed.

I worked with Chris at Quest and always had a positive experience with him. He was always friendly and willing to help wherever he could. His contribution to Quest will be deeply missed and near impossible to replace. Our deepest condolences from me and my team.

He was a great childhood friend, or families always got together at his parents home or mine. We would listen to our parents talk loudly for ours, smoking and drinking have a great time. He will be missed, I have good memories with him and his family. We would also go there to go swimming quite frequently. I will miss him!
