"The things about Chris: I will always remember Chris for his generosity and huge heart. When times were hard for us, Chris was there for my two boys and me. He took the boys fishing, walks in the woods and camping. That’s just a small example of the memories we have of him. We send our deepest sympathies to you and the boys Lisa. Chris was so well respected and everyone loved his infectious smile and personality. Words feel inadequate at a time like this… I want you to know that his spirit has touched many people's lives as it has ours. You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers."
