Although I only knew Chris a short time, my heart was touched by his kindness, helpfulness and generosity and lifted by his sneaky, quiet wit - he was so, so funny!!

I had the opportunity to work with Chris at the Boulder Cork for several years. His soul is soft and his heart was kind. He was always a bright spot in my day, and interacting and bantering with him always brought a lightheartedness and humorous perspective to what I often took way too seriously. He was a man who always had your back and your best interests at heart. He will be so very missed. My love, strength an condolences to all who are undergoing one of the most challenging experiences you will ever have to face. Likewise, to Angela, my heart is with you honey. I pray that a moment of peace and tranquility fills your being as you are going through this. Again, my love to all of the people who were lucky enough to have known and loved this extraordinary man. Peace be with all of you...
