Chris was one of my best friends in high school. We enlisted into the US Marine Corps in 1963 and were together at Parris Island boot camp. I was his best man at his wedding. To my regret, we lost contact when he relocated to Florida. Hopefully, God willing, I would love to visit his grave site at Sarasota National Cemetery.
Semper Fi my friend, John Palcso
