My deepest sympathies. Chris was a wonderful person and a good friend. We shared a lot of laughs together, we debated a lot and shared our woes. I was always impressed by his brilliant mind. I never knew someone so intelligent as Chris. He will be missed greatly! His family will always be in my prayers.
