Chris was such a kind hearted person. I will always remember Chris as being upbeat and such a great sense of humor. He was always great to see when he stopped by the Dermpath office in Brookfield while working as a Wheaton Franciscan courier. He was a bright light with such a kind soul.

I will always have fond memories of Chris. He was such a kind person and willing to help others. He was a great dancer (especially good old soul music) and such a comedian!

I only wish we could have spent more recent times together, but hopefully we will meet up again.

My thoughts and prayers go out to Keri and the rest of the family.

Chris and I shared so many fun times and great laughs. We helped each other through some tough times but always kept a sense of humor. If it was not for Chris, I would have never met and married my wife Denise. Chris was such a great friend and roommate. We had the best of times that I will always hold in my memory and in my heart forever!

So I says ta the guy...

I love you Doc!
