I met Chris during my senior year in 1993 at Southwestern University and though I didn't spend much time with him, I got good vibes from him sensing that he was a good person. Upon hearing about his death, I find myself wishing I had known him as a good friend all these years since our days at Southwestern because I'm sure he was a good friend, father, brother, and son to all those who knew him well. I'll be saying some prayers for his family and friends.
