May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I worked with Chris at CAS for many years. Chris was always a kind, gentle person. He will be missed by all, but especially by Pat and Katelyn. My heart goes out to you both. Heaven has gained another angel.

A year behind me in high school, Chris was a polite and gentle soul who seemed to live above the fray. My condolences to Joe on the loss of his brother, his wife at the loss of her husband, and his daughter at the loss of her father.
