Chris, you were a kind person with a heart of gold. I'm gonna miss our chats and your advice about Mom and your sympathy about the loss of Jennifer. We all loved you like a brother instead of a brother in law. Please take care of my girl and Joey up there. You were a saint in this life and I'm sure your happy now. We love and miss you cus there will never be another like you. Neil Young wrote "Heart of Gold" for you. Gary and Joyce, we love you too and are so sorry for your loss.
