I was reading the Hoban Highlights and saw Chris passed away. I cried all night. Jason and Pete the three of us and the other band people hung out all the time. We had fun. I am so sorry, I hope he knows he was truly loved and I treasure all the time spent together. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

God Bless, I know God has his plans, they are just tough.

Love always

Deepest condolences on the loss of Chris. I taught Chris (and his brothers) in kindergarten Sunday School at the Firestone Park Presbyterian Church and have fond memories of a smiling little boy. The years have passed too quickly. May you find comfort in faith, family, and friends.

Dear Pete and all of Chris's family,

I just want to say how very sorry I am to hear of Chris's passing and wish to let you all know how wonderful I think he was! I went to school with him during Junior High and worked with him at GOJO. We became great friends during a troubled time in my life. I coud always count on him to set me straight and to make me smile. His beautiful smile and friendship will always shine on in my heart! Pete - please feel free to call me or email me at 330-858-1051 or [email protected] - I have pictures that I'm sure you would like to have of Chris - smiling in every one - especially the one he gave me of you and him...

You are all in my thoughts and prayers and to Chris - "Only God Knows Why" buddy...

Love always,
Michelle
