Very sad to hear of Chris' death. I too was a high school buddy. He was quite a clown and a good friend. My deepest sympathy to his family.

I'm very sorry to hear of Chris's passing. I hadn't seen him in years but have fond memories of him in high school. He was a lot of fun and I enjoyed watching him play basketball through the years. My sympathies to all of your family.

I was so sorry to read of Chris's passing. Chris and I went to high school together and although I had not talked to Chris in many years, I will always remember him with fondness. May God give you comfort and peace in your time of loss.
