I am beyond sad and heartbroken to hear the horrible news of Chris passing..I have cried since I spoke to Amber last night. I have so many wonderful memories of all the great times at the field and baseball. I always loved the whole wittman family. Russ and the boys are so upset and send their condolences, they are very upset. I never Chris without a smile (except when Matt got In my van and started it and put it in drive). He gave him hell! He was a great guy, an awesome friend and coach, he will truly be missed. Life is so unfair. We all send our thoughts love and prayers to all the wittman. He will live in our hearts forever.

My heart hurts and my thoughts and prayers have been with you and your family! I am truly blessed to have worked with your husband, father, friend! He worked too much and gave his everything in all he did. He loved his family and always put himself last. Oh how I wish I could pay my respects and give each of you a hug! How I wish I could tell each one of you Thank you! Thank you for sharing him with us at work, as we likely saw him more than you did. Thank you for loving him the way you did, because I am positive that is what made him so giving and wonderful to be around! My thoughts and prayers will continue to be with you all! Please know if we could be there to show our support, it would help with this horrible pain. God bless and thank you!
