Chris and I were coworkers @ Phillips-Van Heusen for several years, and he used to CRACK the whip at me when it came to writing store memos. He made such a valuable impression on me that I carry his reminders of how to write a great directive with me to this day - I chuckle every time I catch myself writing something that I know he would have flagged and sent back to me. He will undoubtedly be missed greatly by his family and friends. To Dena and his sons, my heartfelt condolences to you all as you move forward through this difficult time. May your memories of Chris and his love for you all light your way.

Chris was such a lovely friend to me back in our LCHS Theater days - we had so much fun, and he was just a great guy all-around. I was so happy to reconnect with Chris on Facebook and to see how much he adored his beautiful family. My deepest sympathy to Dena and the boys for your loss - I am holding you in my heart.

As a colleague of Dena and June and as a teacher of Braeden (all at Notre Dame GP), I only met Christopher a fee times. Each time though I was impressed by his friendliness and his demonstration of admiration of his family. Eternal Rest Grant Unto Him, O Lord....
