I knew Christoper through his sister, Susan, who all through the years I have known her, took such good care of him as her mom and dad were taken away so early. Just knowing he will be resting with his mom, dad and brother brings some comfort. May he rest in peace. God Bless Susan and her entire family.

Susan, it's Sensei Hoffman. I was so sad to learn of Chris's passing. I've thought about him so often & much over the years & even tried to locate him. I tried Facebook & calling information. There are no words for how much I cared about Chris. I have such fond memories & will never forget him. I am truly sorry and more so that I wasn't able to see him over the years!
