CJ was at my house a lot since high school visiting with my daughter who remained very good friends with him. CJ always came in to say Hi to me, always with a warm hug and infectious smile. His heart was as big as the outdoors he loved so much. His warmth and generosity and goid naturedness was a joy to be around. I will miss him dearly. My continued prayers to his family who lost a real treasure. Words cannot express how sorry I am.
