I am so sorry to hear of Chris's passing. We worked together in Stroudsburg, and he was such a wonderful person. He always had a smile on his face, a hello and was outgoing. Sending my sincere condolences and prayers to his family. May you rest in peace Chris.

Chris leaves an impression on all of us. He always had a big smile and some remark for a little shock effect, he seemed to love that and always would make us smile. To say he will be missed is a great understatement, he cannot be replaced, and his memory we will carry with us always. It is a true pleasure to have had the opportunity to know Chris and work with him. Chris' life I witnessed was based around a voracious work ethic. He loved to work, he loved what he did, and he loved the people around him. If he wasn't happy he was never afraid to speak his mind, and I respected him for that. I witnessed him grow as a person into a professional, it wasn't always easy for him to hold his tongue in certain situations with difficult customers, but he did because he knew what was right. The fun part was when he told us what he really wanted to say. Thank you Chris, our lives were better because we got to know you. Rest now.
