We truly lost a good guy. I have many fond memories of Chris in school and recently in friendly conversation in passing. Chris was always a pleasure to talk to and he seemed to live his life enjoying this world and all its wonders. Chris's glass was certainly always half-full. We must never forget that tragedy looms and we should live for today. I think Chris did a pretty good job enjoying and loving all that he surrounded himself with. It had been a few years since I had seen Chris but recently I had been running into him more often and he always seemed to get an excited, proud, almost glowing expression when he talked about his kids and family. My deepest sympathy and condolences to Chris's family. The world may have lost a lot, but the heavens gained so much more. May god bless you and guide you during these difficult days.

The Leurquin Family,
The Schneider Finance team was fortunate to have Chris for over 15 years. He was committed and truly cared about the company and the associates that he worked with. It was apparent from his accomplishments. But more importantly, he was a friend. He made us laugh. It was a joy to be with him. May God be with you during this difficult time.
