Our softball team was shorthanded one night this summer. Tommy got Chris to play. I always knew Chris was a good athlete so I was not worried about him being rusty. I was correct he hit the ball hard every at bat and played solid in the field.
It was nice seeing Chris on the field with my sons and some of the other guys he grew up with. Smiling, having fun playing ball. That is how I will always remember this well mannered, respectful young man.

Chris,

It was an honor to know you, first as a third-grade student in my class, then as a family friend (and even softball teammate). You always contributed to and raised the atmosphere of a room and the people you were with. You'll always be a part of my (and many peoples') history and the influence you had on all you met is what will make you live on.
