I am really surprised to read about Chris.

He was a couple year behind me at West High in Columbus and was a really big personality. So funny, so talented and still so kind.

I am so sorry for your loss.

I would like to express my condolences to your family. Chris and I knew eachother in high school (he was my escort for "Donkey-Ball"). The last time I saw him was at our 10 year reunion and I enjoyed catching up. I'm sorry I lost touch through the rest of the years. Please take care and know that I thought of him everytime I would open the year book, see a play, or hear "Lady In Red" on the radio.
My deepest sympathies,
Kim (Thomas) Browning
