Chris was my broker for many years, going back to 1987. He always did right by me. His hard work helped me to be very prepared for my retirement. For that I am eternally grateful.

My deepest sympathy at the loss of your brother Chris. He was a good friend to the Brennan family at the Chapel School and on Monroe Ave from the 1950's on. He will not be forgotten. My prayers are with him.

Chris and I were best friends in childhood from 4th grade to 7th grade at St. Peter's Chapel School, in Scranton Pa. To be honest, we were childhood sweethearts. He walked me home from school every day when we were in 6th grade. He was so sweet and kind, intelligent and handsome. That was many years ago, but I still think about him from time to time.
To the Killeen family, I hope that you find comfort and peace in your memories of Chris. He was a great guy.
