I am very sorry to hear of CJ's passing. I just read it in the Marquette alumni magazine. He was a dear friend while we were in the Marquette band together. My sympathy to his family.

I was so sorry to hear of Chris passing. We worked for the same company and mostly spoke on the phone. Chris was always very kind and eager to help in any way that he could. I enjoyed him. My condolences to his loved ones.

I am very sorry to hear of the passing of Chris. We went through twelve years of school together at St. Mary's in Menasha. Chris was always very kind, witty, quite the scholar, an articulate thespian, and also a talented musician. God provided him with many talents. At our age, we see far too many good people leaving our ranks. My sympathy to the family.
