I was very saddened of learning of Chris passing. I have played with and against Chris for many years. I knew him as "Cito" and he loved playing baseball. He helped me out several times with handyman projects in my home. He was a giver and never asked for anything in return. I remember Cito bringing his young children to some of our practices. What a beautiful family Cito had. My heart goes out to Angela, Austin, Anna and Gina. What a great legacy to have. All of you are in my prayers. Rick Jackson

Chris was named as our department director. He was very knowledgeable and friendly with everyone. He was easy to work with and had a good sense of humor. Very sad to hear of his loss. My deepest sympathies go to his family and friends. He always was so proud of his daughters and son's accomplishment. Always bragging about what they did. God bless you Chris. Enjoy the hot rods in heaven. Another angel earned his wings. Will be greatly missed. - Al Rickens
