Chris was my best friend for over 35 years and I treasure each and every year. Chris was not only a good friend he was a hard and dedicated employee and most important a loving husband of 44 years to Diane. Chris will always be missed but much remembered by all that knew him. RIP Chris till we meet again in heaven, save me a seat at the bar and we will have a beer together.

Chris, My 22 year old self never wrote that thank you letter you deserved. I really enjoyed your dry sense of humor, your giggles in the record stacks, your immense knowledge of music and your mentorship to me. I learned about so many styles of music, past classics, world, classical, jazz, etc. I also learned that work ethic is crucial to a team success. You made that abundantly clear through your actions. Our customers never really knew why Odyssey ALWAYS had that out of print or rare item, but it was you. So many smiles and thrills for all of us because you loved your work. Thanks for the good times. My time at Odyssey with you is so memorable and special. Wishing you an eternity of awesome music, baseball and delicious apples (which I know you loved). Tom

I may have forgotten to leave loving words to Chris the last time we spoke, but I never forgot how much he meant to me and all those he touched. At work, in the community, and among his friends, Chris was an Everyman. One of the most decent humans I have ever met. Copeland would have had him in mind when he composed Fanfare.

Chris was one of my oldest friends, we worked together for about 15 years & became life long friends. He was one of the good guys, was always fair, no judgment, was the hardest worker I have ever worked with. I think he finally found his passion in the garden in the last few years, yes even in the Las Vegas heat, he was a trooper. Loved his morning walks, & listening to his favorite music. He loved all music especially Celtic & loved reading the biography's of the old rock stars....Loved the Atlanta Braves, we would rejoice in the good times & commiserate in the bad, of which are too many these last few years.

My love to Diane, & all of the Wilson family, his brothers & many nieces & nephews.....

Too all of the Odyssey family that were blessed to have worked for & with this great man....Christopher you will be sorely missed.

Love Kendra
