I met Chris at Pittsburg State. We became quick pals and were together a lot at PSU. We were fraternity brothers in the Sigma Chi Fraternity. When I got married and was still going to college, Chris got me a job at his Dad´s bank. I owe Chris a lot. RIP brother. I´ll see you when I head up to heaven. Thank you for being a great friend.

Chris and I were in the same grade at George Nettles Elementary, also best friends for those years. I can remember when he started piano lessons and how he hated it. He will always remain a good friend in my memory. My sincere condolences to his family
