    "I was deeply saddened to hear the loss of Chris. Lisa, I can still smell the flourishing bouquet of lilys at your desk which were a constant reminder that true love really does exist. I have never seen so much love radiate between people like it freely flowed between you two...almost otherworldly....just like a fairy tale. Chris was a beautiful man in all sense of the word and fully embraced every single moment - so much so that he could have written the book on Enjoying Life and have it achieve Oprahs seal of approval. His zest for life always made me smile and I have always carried that with me. Draw on your inner strength and the strength of your family during these times. Chris will forever will be missed and leaves a beautiful legacy behind. My thoughts and love are with you and the boys. XO"

    "My most sincere condolences to your wife and boys and to your Mom, Dad, brother and sisters. I will never forget the good times we had growing up in Willow Park or the Friday and Saturday nights at the Bank followed by the Sunday morning football games in Bonavista. Although we lost touch somewhat over the last couple of years I can tell by the people I've talked to and the tributes I have read, that you never changed. You remained the big hearted, full of life and passion, friend that you always were. From one friend to another, you will be forever missed. ""

It was a pleasure to search out special wines for him. His obvious excitement and appreciation as we helped him to add some great wines to his collection made our days.We hope that there is Mollydooker Carnival in heaven and we raise a glass to your memory. You will be very much missed. Our sincerest condolences go out to Lisa, Jared, Cole and your family. Thank you for a beautiful memorial yesterday."
