I am deeply saddened to learn of Chris’ passing and his lengthy illness. I lost touch with Chris many years ago, as we both moved away. I often wondered what happened to him. Learning this now, I offer my condolences (as late as this may be in saying) to the entire family. May Chris rest in peace and I am thankful he is no longer in pain and suffering.
