I just heard of Chris' passing and would like to offer my sincerest condolences to the family. When I met Chris he was about 12 or so, I hung around with his brother Michael, he was an awesome young man

I´m so sorry for the loss of one of the best people I ever met. I met Chris at a time I really needed an uplifting my father had just passed away. He offered to help us move into our new house we never met before but he was willing to help us. That´s the kind of person he is I love and miss so much already. R. I. P. My friend until we meet again someday.
