I knew Chris for well over 25 years. He was a great person always available for a friend in need. H was also my roadie and the sound man for our band the Bikeshop Boys sad to see him go so young.

Chris will be greatly missed. I will not be able to pass the performing arts center without thinking about Chris. Rest in Peace. My Prayers for fiends and family and especially Carole.
