Kathy, I hope you and the kids are doing well and have found peace with Chris’s passing. I still think of him, usually while lifting which we shared a passion for back in the day. I still smile when his grin pops into my mind. All my best to you, the kids and his family.

Kathy, I hope you and the kids are doing well. At certain times I think of Chris, smile, and then wonder how you and the kids are? I wish you best and if you talk with any of Chris's other friends please pass along a warm hello.

Kathy, Chris and I were great friends in Grammer School. He was a positive influence in my life and I am deeply saddened that we will never be able to continue our friendship. I can only hope that he was as good a husband and father as he was a friend to me. Dave Stringham

Chris had the biggest heart I knew. When I first started in the Title business, he made sure to get me past the Guard (Receptionist) and he walked me and introduced me to all the guys in the office. Even though he was busy, he always made time to help me out. He was selfless, fun, driven, and the kind of guy you always wanted to be around. I will always remember Chris and I am so sad that he left this Earth so early.
