RIP Chris. I was friends with Chris in high school and then we both went to ODU and we hung out together there as well for freshman year. I remember Chris as a great guy, we had some good adventures. He came to visit when I was at Va Tech, we went caving.

I've not seen Chris since probably 1980 or so, we lost touch. I'm so sorry and grieved. May God comfort family and friends. May you rest in peace Chris.
