The last time I saw Christophe was on the plane home from SC in 09' we had spoken since then ...but he had pressed on with his life. I'll always as be grateful & treasure our memories of laughter together also that he honoured both my son & self as few ever had. Thank you for raising a beautiful man. I shall see him in Glory. Spirit & Truth when I go as well. He is missed loved & honored. He was always a beloved brat, pest & tremendous joy to have in my life, with that impish grin & twinkling eyes I loved him immensely...Jusqu'à ce que je te revois mon cher ami...Eileen Marie

So sad to hear the loss of Chris. He was a kind soul and it was great to see him a few summers back when he came to visit my sister Connie and I when we performed in Saratoga with the Caroga Lake Music Festival. Sending our deepest condolences to Chris' friends and family. He will be missed.
