My deepest condolences. I first met Chris in 1993. He was always so kind and nice. We used to go out a lot and hang out. We always had such wonderful times. He taught me a lot about life and loving yourself.
OCMD won't ever be the same and I'll miss his smiling face on the boards. Would do anything for anyone . A beautiful soul. May God Bless Michelle and their 3 young children.
