I didn't know him well, but I'd met him a number of times in the Treasury building and around town. He was a kind, well-recognized man and I'd have enjoyed getting to know him better.

I was a colleague of Chris for his entire tenure at TFFC. At one point we worked very closely and I was his boss, a while ago. I have some fun photos of him and lots of very lovely stories. I have so much sorrow for his loss. Not sure how to contribute. He is very much missed and loved.

Chris, you will forever be remembered and deeply missed. My fellow Ohioan transplant, it was an honor to watch you live your life in Washington, DC. Over the years, you often brought fun and great conversation to countless events. Rest in peace. Trent Heminger
