I think of Chris whenever I am doing my Bond banking and it brings a smile to my face. He was always so kind and willing to share suggestions. Just a really nice guy and easy to talk with. I still miss him. Sending love to his family and close friends, as I know he is missed so much.

I really miss Chris. When I call BCFCU it's different. Chris was always willing to just talk about stuff and I could ask him anything and he would respond thoughtfully, with genuine interest and concern. He was a one of a kind and he left us too soon!

I knew Chris through his work at BOND. He was really a great guy. Helped me start rebuilding my credit, finance my first car, and I just paid off my 2nd through BOND. All thanks to Chris. Down to earth, willing to help always. Sorry to his family that he's gone. Will be missed for sure!

My mom Rosa Holmes was a member. my husband and I met Chris through my mom. When she passed, Chris was instrumental in helping me with many aspects of her business. Over the last few years, we renovated our home and Chris was again there to walk us through, provide advice and answer our many questions. He was a great guy and will be missed.

I have been a member of Bond for close to 25 years. It seems like Chris was there that whole time. He always helped me with financial advice and never made me feel like I didn't know anything, and I didn't! Even up until last month he was still answering my questions. Always available and kind. I will miss him a lot. He really embodied the community in Bond. I always knew he was there. He was so himself. Joking about stuff and practicing his golf swing. Just a great guy. He made a difference and the world is better because of him, and I am grateful to have known him. I can only imagine how much his family and close friends miss him. My heart goes out to those closest to Chris, as I know the little bit I knew him and his positive impact on my life. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry for your family's loss. Chris was such a gift. Not only did he help many of us navigate the difficult world of finance but also created a real sense of community at the BOND. He will be so greatly missed.

I was lucky enough to meet Chris through BOND and to get his assistance with car and home equity loans. He was a gem. My prayers are with his family for comfort during their grief.

Maybe like me lots of folks felt that Chris was their person at BOND. I have been a BOND member since the late 1970s, and while I didn't know him well, Chris was really the only person I had a relationship with there. I liked him so much and was tickled at times by our conversations. He was very real and expressed a genuine interest in others. So very sorry to hear of this big loss and thinking of how hard this must be for the people who were closer to him. Sending love and healing thoughts to his family, friends and the BOND and larger community.

I got to know Chris pretty well over the years at BOND. Whenever he'd see me in the lobby and he wasn't assisting someone he'd wave me to his office to chat. An empathic listener with a big heart we'd talk about life, family, sports. My deepest condolences to his family and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Years ago, Chris helped me get my first credit card and within these past few months, he helped me get my first brand new car! I was grateful for his genuine advice. Because Bond FCU is such a small bank, the services feel personal. I was surprised and saddened to see this news.
My most heartfelt condolences to his friends, co workers, and family. May Chris rest in peace.

Chris was like a brother to me. He gave me the best advice - not just about my finances - but about life! He made me laugh every time we talked. He always asked about my life and how things were. He became a great friend and we talked about things often. He was so proud of his family and loved them deeply. I will miss you so much, my friend - my brother. This world will be quite empty without your laughter, your words of wisdom, you friendship. You were such a blessing to me. My heart is truly broken!
