Heard about Chris from my Mom a few days after she attended the wake and I said some prayers. I was a year behind Chris and played rugby with him at LA.I spoke with Pat Hannigan last night---
I thought you should know that his story reaches many places, and as I told my girls (Clare 14, Caroline 12), his story continues thorough you and all of us. It is a precious story and I am sorry for your loss. John

I am so very sorry for your loss. Take comfort that Chris has become your guardian angel and will be with you always.

Dearest Stacy,Katie,Jenny and Kiley,
My thoughts are with you at this sad time.I did not know Chris(your Dad) as well as I wished I had, but through you and your friends and family, I feel I knew him. He was a wonderful fun loving man who will live in everyone's hearts who knew him, loved him and had brief encounters with him like I did.Just know that you have all of us to talk to, laugh with and cry with for always. Love, Denise Damit

Stacy & Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Even though our visits from Kansas with our boys to see Leslie brought us in contact with you only once a year, we all remember the fun we had. We're glad we had the opportunity to know Chris. We're so sorry and are keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Mariann: I hope you remember me, Peggy from Kraft. I am so sorry for your loss. I know how much this hurts. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Stacy,Katie,Jenny,Kiley,
I am sadden by your loss. I could see the wonderful relationship your parents had with each other. At the office your mother would make us smile by something your father had said or done. He loved you all deeply. Your father was a special man! You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi Ennis Family - I'm so sorry to hear about your dad. I wish the best for you all and I'm always thinking of you. Your dad is a great guy and nobody can argue with that.

Stacy, Laura, John and Mrs. Ennis: The entire McCurdy and Bireley familes want you all to know that we have you, and Chris, in our hearts and our prayers. He was a great human being, with an incrdible approach to life, and he will be missed.

Dear Ennis Family,

I am deeply saddened to hear of your loss. I knew Chris from Xavier Univ and subsequently saw him often on the CBOE. He was truly a remarkable person, forever with a smile on his face.

With Deepest Regrets,

Stacy,
We have you in our hearts and prayers.

God bless you and the girls.

Dear Stacy and family,
Chris and I were runners together for Chicago Corp. way back in the mid-eighties. He always had such positive outlook on life. I can still remember him describing how they turned a hurricane evacuation (that they chose to ignore) into a party while at college at Spring Hill. In the years that followed while we both became traders at the CBOE we would bump into each other occasionally and there would always be that twinkle in his eye, that upbeat outlook. He touched a lot of people and always in a positive way. He will most certainly be missed. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your daughters during this difficult time.

Dear Stacy, and girls. We are so very sorry for your loss. Chris was a wonderful human being.Such a loving and caring huband to you,and a very proud father to his 3 girls. When ever I saw Chris he would always ask about my Jennifer, and then we'd speak about his Jenny and his other girls. He always said Vicki, I promise to mail you a Christmas card again this year. And, he always did. Thank you Stacy!!We were neighbors on Illinois Road and Chris was ALWAYS there for us, and the entire block if needed. Chris, Thank you for being such a wonderful neighbor, and friend to Jeff and I. God Bless you. Jeff, Vicki and Jennifer Long

Jenny,
I hope you and your family will find happiness in your life ahead. I pray that you be looked after by God, and cared for by your guardian angels. I love you, and will always be there for you whenever you want to talk. God bless you and your family.

Dear Laura,
I don't know if you remember me ..... I went to Stenson with you ....I lived across the street from Stenson ...Anyway I've had my share of loss of Family this year too....I remember you and your Brother well !!!!
I'm so so Sorry!!!
My Thoughts are with you and your Family
Joel Berger

My prayers are with you and the girls in your sarrow. Chris brought laughter to the room with his smart wit. May you keep these joyful memories forever. Peace be with you.

Stacy and Family,
I met Chris when I replaced him clerking for Dennis Brennan on the CBOE. He was a great guy. I knew I could count on him if I ever had a question or problem. One of the most upbeat people I've ever met. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to you and yours.

Stacy and Family,
We are so sorry to hear about Chris- it has been a long time but Todd will always remember the good times on the C B O E. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

To Stacy & the Girls..... Chris was an amazing person. He was and is someone who I'll always remember fondly. He had quick wit, a fun streak and that twinkle in his eye that made you laugh and feel better as a person -- it was always great to see him and all of you when we did. Kurt & Mary

Katie & Family,
Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Dear Stacy and Family

We are so sad to here of Chris’s passing. I will always remember our early days together as clerks learning the business. We worked hard, but had fun too. He was such a positive influence and a great guy to be around. I’m sure he will be remembered as a stand up guy who loved and was very proud of his family. If you were his friend, you were family. He will be missed.

Dear Ennis Family,
I cannot imagine how you are dealing with the loss of Chris. When I first heard the tragic news, a smiling image of Chris popped into my mind. That happy, smiling face is what I'll always remember.
May God bless you all and help you through this heartbreaking time.

Chris was a wonderful person. He was my runner on the C.B.O.E. many years ago and we remained friendly over the years. I am lucky to have known him. I am so very sorry for your loss. Sincerely John Niemann

Chris was my older brother and protector. He always stood up for me, even though we didn't always see eye to eye. I know he is in a better place and out of his suffering and pain. I live in Cedar City, UT. now and when I am walking through the mountains I will remember the good and happy times we shared together. I love you Chris and will truly miss you!
Take Care,
Love,
Kare

Dear Ennis Family,
I am deeply sorry for your loss. Chris was a dear friend down here at the CBOE. We were close because we talked about our families. My sons are the same age as Chris' daughters.

Dear Mrs. Ennis, Katie, Jenny & Kiley,
I am so terribly sorry to hear of your loss. I always enjoyed speaking with Mr. Ennis when he visited at school. My heart and prayers are with you at this difficult time.

Dear Ennis Family:

We just heard the news from out of town and share in your sadness and grief. As a high school acquaintance, CBOE fellow KO pit member, and Northbrook neighbor, I always have looked forward to and enjoyed seeing Chris. I know the loss I feel is a small sampling of your pain, after having the privelege of spending twenty years with Chris on a daily basis. Chris remains among us in the stories we tell and feelings and thoughts we carry with us every day. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers in the coming weeks and beyond, as you learn to live in the new way Chris will be with you.

Ennis Family
So sorry for your loss. My heart goes out to you, Mariann, as a Mother, from your Marywood classmate.

Chris was such a treasured friend in high school and college. Our prayers are with Stacy and the girls today and always.

Kevin and I are very sorry for your loss. We knew Chris at Spring HIll College.

Sincerely,

I got a hug from Chris at the 4th of July parade. Always a smile and a nice word and no complaints. I would see him walking and could tell it was painful but still a smile and a wave. I know he is still smiling and I thank him for showing me how to live one day at a time with class. God speed Chris.

Dear Stacy, Katie, Jenny and Kiley,
Chris was a remarkable man. I think that everyone who had the honor of knowing him has a very heavy heart today. I will never forget his wonderful smile and wave each and every time I saw him. You have our most heartfelt sympathy and love.
Valerie, Hillary and Allison Kistenbroker

I agree, Chris was a wondeful guy. I will miss him. My prayers and thoughts are with all of his loved ones.

Dear Stacy, Katie, Jenny, and Kiley:

I just read about your loss. I am so very sorry. Chris was such a gift to everyone he met and he exemplified all of the great and important parts of life-laughter, love, and kindness. Please know how deeply you are all loved and I pray for your comfort.

Much Sympathy & Much Love,
Melissa Paull

Dear Stacy & Family,
Words cannot express our sorrow over your loss. Chris always offered a hug, a handshake and a wonderful smile. You're all in our thoughts and Chris will be in our hearts forever.
Linda

Our thoughts and prayers are with Chris and her family.
Jim & Pat Lowder

I've known Chris since 1987 through our tenure as traders on the CBOE. We were also part of a trading group and spent time together there. He was always a kind, honest and respected gentleman down on the exchange floor and in our office. The world needs more people like Chris and my prayers go out to his family.

Ennis Family,

So sorry to hear about your loss. I met Paul this past spring as he cheered for Katie on the lacrosse field. His love for his family was clearly evident from day one. God bless you all during this difficult time.
