I can´t believe today is 6 months without you here. Chris and I were close for 6 years or so. I can still see his smile, as if it was yesterday. The way he lit up a room is unmatched. The days and nights spent bowling, at Penguin games, swimming, concerts, skiing or gazing at the stars on the hood of his Z-28(Journey or Led Zeppelin playing softly) are some of my fondest memories. He is gone too soon, although he will never be forgotten. My heartfelt condolences go to Chris's family, friends and all who loved him. I will be thinking of you in these difficult times and sending you love.

Chris was well-liked by everyone in my family. At first, he was quiet and unsure of himself. In no time, it was like we knew him forever...he just fit in. He came for some holidays and never complained about my cooking. We all had a good time and plenty to talk about. We will miss him very much. Fond memories will last forever. God Bless You

I can't describe in a short message how much Chris meant to me. There are very few people u will meet in life that love and encourage you the way chris did. I miss him every day and his passing has taken a huge piece. My thoughts and love are with everyone who knew and cared for Chris. Truly a terrible loss.

Oh this makes me so sad. Chris was my plumber for ten years. I never wanted anyone else in my home. I trusted him and enjoyed him and had him scheduled Friday of this week to talk about a big bathroom project. I wouldn't want anyone else. He was patient, real, smart, funny and tall. I had him do a major repair in my attic which had about 4 feet of ceiling height.... poor Chris never complained (haha), and did an expert job repairing my leaky pipes! Wow I'm going to miss him - just knowing he was in the world made me happy. He was a good man. Sympathy and Love to his family - Suzanne in Fox Chapel.

I am so sorry for your loss. Chris and I graduated high school together and I have nothing but wonderful memories with lots of laughs. He was the guy that was always laughing and could put a smile on your face. My condolences to your family.
