I worked with Chris @ Progressive for the 18 years that he worked there. He was a wonderful person and always brought a smile to my face especially with our chats over the Yankees! He will be truly missed.

Chris was a good man. I really enjoyed working with him at Progressive. His smile and friendly personality are missed. And of course Yankee talk! He and his entire family are in my thoughts and prayers.

My heart breaks for your family. You're in my thoughts. I worked with Chris at Progressive for many years. He was always kind, positive, and had a smile on his face. He went out of his way to make people laugh and he made the world a warmer, better place. He will be missed.
