I was so saddened to hear of Chris´ passing. It has been years since we have seen each other but I will always remember Chris as a kind, fun, caring, friend. The world is much less vibrant without Chris in it. I will keep you all in my prayers in the days and weeks to come.

Chris is the most friendly person I have ever met. Enjoyed playing basketball with him as youngsters and going to the skating rink. Hanging out putting bicycles together. Hitting Night Lights. Riding river st in his Porsche. I will always remember you. No more suffering my friend. Hope to see you in heaven.

Chris was great all around as a father, friend, athlete, and businessman. We liked to play rough but our friendship was real. I have never seen anyone fight harder or stronger. Really going to miss him.

Chris was a dear friend and a good man that will be missed by so many (family members and friends). Those who knew him well can only guess that he has already traded his wings in for wheels, and he his riding his bike straight through the pearly gates of heaven. Knowing Chris, he is tracking his time and speed! Many thanks to you Chris, my brother for all the great times and memories we have had over the last 40 years. Much love with a heavy heart! Keith
