Jill, I am so sorry to hear of Chris' passing. I worked with Chris, his office was right down the hall from mine at the old Quebecor World plant. Your husband had a sharp whit and could always bring a laugh or a smile to his co-workers.
Condolences for a sweet man.
Chris was a wonderful friend to my father, and the coolest honorary Uncle my brother and I could ask for growing up. Our warmest condolences to Jill and everyone in mourning.

Dear Jill
I was sad to hear Chris has passed too young too soon.
. I have memories of him all the way back to Mrs. Keim's kindergarten he was the cutest little boy with big eyes and always a big heart. A gentle giant always fun to be in his classes ,great sense of humor he always made us laugh. Thinking of you at this sorrowful time in losing a great man. Graceann
