I Met Chris almost a year ago, at Bob Tyler, and ended up buy a car from him. He was so funny and a greatest person that I have met, and building a friendship, I was happy for him in the way that he was talking about his wife and children. It has really saddened my day today to just now find out that he has gone home, I pray for his entire family, that they find comfort in the good memories of Chris. I know that My family and I will have good memories of him as well.

So sorry for your loss. Chris was an employee for my husband at New Market and Ruby Tuesdays and also a close family friend. He was always so full of life, and a joy to be around. Our hearts are so saddened to hear of his passing. Our prayers and love go out to your family.

Sorry to read about your loss. I was hired by him as a musician for Newmarket Steak House
when he was manager, that was 10 years ago. Have not seen him much since, but we
became friends-easy to be friends with Chris. He had a part time carpet cleaning company
I hired when I moved to a new house. May he and all of you be blessed.
