Still hard to absorb even after the years have passed. I know you are making great frisbee catches and sack memories in your new home. You can teach me when I get there my friend.

The news of Chris's death has totally shocked me. I have not seen him since our good friend and sister Jeanann Brown Rollier passed away. I would like to think of them being reunited in heaven and knowing they are both at peace. They both loved life and I can't think of one without the other. I will always remember Chris as a loving, down to earth and caring person. He loved to cook as I remember and I always loved his squash casserole when he brought it to my house to watch football. I am flooded with many memories of good times that we all had together. Ronnie, Tiffany, and Scott you are all in my prayers. I hope you find strength from God to get through this painful time in your life. My deepest sympathies to all of his family. He will be missed.

I met Chris a few years ago, awesome person and human being. Always enjoyed what he had to say and his unlimited knowledge of the world. My heart goes out to his family. Thanks for the frisbee lessons Chris I had hoped to play again and learn more from such a master of the sport! See you on the other side friend.
