Chris and I worked together for many years when he was employed by ServiceMaster. We discussed our mutual love for Classical Music, History, etc. I received word of his
passing to late to attend the funeral,
but I certainly will pray for him.

So sorry for your loss. I haven't seen Chris since High School but remember him as a studious worker. We also worked together on our yearbook as Co-editors.
