My condolences to the family. Chris was a really great guy. Growing up as one of us buckeye boys I remember Chris as always smiling and friendly we were scouts together as well. Spent alot of Sunday afternoons playing sports either at the pool or Catholic church stair side lot. Just an all round good guy and great friend, made anything or anywhere a happier, better atmosphere. He will be remembered fondly. Rest in peace my friend!
