I had the pleasure of knowing Chris as coworkers, way back when he began his career in gaming at the Eldorado casino in Henderson, NV. Chris and I stayed in touch for many years until we lost contact maybe 5 years ago. I always enjoyed his company, his friendliness and sincerity, and his kind, genuine manner. I am truly saddened by his passing and am sending my deepest sympathies for your loss.

Chris-you were the best "best friend" I ever had. We shared almost 30 years of friendship together, and had lots of fun. We worked together at 3 different casinos that Boyd Gaming owned. We were two of the only five dealers selected to be transferred to the Borgata. We were both very proud of that. We were roommates for 17 years. We had the same sense of humor, interests in gaming, a love of New York City, and attending MLB games. I will miss you more tha you could know, and wherever you are now I know EVERYONE is happy you are with them. Rest in Peace my friend.
