Chris, you always had a special way of making people smile and were always fun to be around. Just stumbled across a picture of you and I got to wondering what you were up to. How sad to find out you left us ten years ago.

From 1980 until 2000 you were my partner, Chris. We shared many years of happy times. I will remember those times always.

Words cannot express the heavy heart I have from finding out you passed away almost a year ago. It's been years since I saw you, but our bond as lifelong friends was one that brought love, laughter and fun throughout our childhood. I will miss you forever, Chris.

I am so sadden to read that Chris has passed away. We did some shows together at the Community Center years ago. He had a quick wit, larger than life smile and you felt like friends from the get go. May you rest in peace my friend.
