I´m so sorry to hear this. I worked with Chris in the NY regional office. He was a lovely person and great to work with. When my cat died he brought flowers from his garden. I´ll never forgot that. My deepest condolences.

Condolences to Judy and Chris' family. Chris was our neighbor in Manahawkin and loved to work in the yard with his flowers and enjoyed feeding the birds. We shared our love of gardening. He would always say "don't forget me", and we will certainly never forget you Chris. Chip and Barbara Cutler
