May I ask if Chris worked for Ellis Corporation in Itasca IL. ? My name is Robert Price, I've moved to Michigan and lost touch with him. He would remember me by something we used to say. My brother from another mother, if so he was a brother and my friend. I am proud to have known he. My condolences.
