I was saddend to hear of Chris' passing. Like many others that have signed the guest book I grew up with Chris in Ross. I remember his infectious laugh, crooked smile and his imp sense of humour.

Chris and I played litle league together and spent one summer at summer camp in the Pacific Northwest. He was bright, an all around athlete, inquistive and always a challenge to the adults!

The last timeI saw Chris was about 26 years ago when he was looking at schools in the Pacific Northwest. I lost track of hium after that and always wondered where he ended up.

My prayers are with Chris and his family - May God Bless you all.

It is with sorrow that I learned of Chris' death. I met Chris in fourth grade at Ross School. Although we went on to Marin Academy together, it is in the elementary school years that I remember Chris best. I remember playing flag football with him and the other guys. I can see him now supplying a wise answer to Mr. B.

I hope that Chris' family will find some comfort and solace knowing Chris' classmates remember Chris as a vibrant young man.

We are devastated by Chris' death.He loved his friends from his childhood so much, and as time passed I know it was these memories that sustained him. All your thoughts mean so much to us..Thank you for remembering Chris in such positive ways. He remained a good man, always worried about everyone else except himself. I cannot tell you how many wonderful people have been in touch. It means everything to us.

I was very saddened to hear that Chris had passed away. I was a classmate of Chris' at Ross School and I will always remember his laugh and ready smile. Chris could make even the most serious teachers crack up, even Mrs. Alessio in 4th Grade. Once Chris and I rode double on the Skyland Way rope swing. We were laughing so hard I fell off and skinned my face up. Oh well, we were laughing about it the next day.

I know you will be sorely missed by your family and all that knew you. Please accept my deep sympathy for your sister, Nancy, your brothers and all your neices and nephews.

Chris and I were classmates throughout Ross school and was with shock and such deep sadness that I learned from another classmate of Chris' death. It seems moments ago we were all so very young with such dreams ahead. May he find great peace. And may all of us here love each other just a little more.

I was fortunate enough to share a wonderful childhood with Chris, and a great number of other mutual friends, in the beautiful small town of Ross. I am not in the area anymore, but my thoughts will be with his family and our friends for the service and always.
