It seems like yesterday that Chris and myself were young boys spending summers together playing baseball and going to the beach. The years are have gone so fast, I can only know that Chris could find entertainment in everything. The memories have never faded and never will.

Christopher - play your music joyously in the next realm. I never got to meet you, just got to hear about you, and your son, from your dad, my dear friend Michael. Trust that we will all look after your son, and keep your memory alive through him. A line from a Delaware poet, Russ McKinney "Once loved, you will never be forgotten..."
