Georgia, I´m so sorry for your loss. I first met Chris at the beginning of 8th grade when we tried out for the Highlands Hornets Football Team. We went on to be teammates throughout high school. We last talked about a year ago, Chris was such a good guy, even though decades had passed since we communicated, that early bond was as tight as the ends of the lines that we once anchored. HUGS and prayers all who loved Chris
