I met Chris through my father at the 658 reunions, he was a great guy. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Our comfort comes in knowing he will be watching over us. Good-bye Chris.

Chris, you always put a smile on my face, with all your stories. You were fun... and funny! I/we will miss you deeply, however... relieved that your weakness and pain has come to an end.

Please watch over us!

Farewell, my 'FABULOUS' friend...
