Chris (as he was known to me) was a wonderful young man. He was a co-worker of mine at AT&T before he moved on to becoming a technician out in the field. More importnantly he was a friend. I am very saddened to learn of his passing. He had such a fantastic sense of humor, complete with a mischievous grin. You must miss him terribly. My sympathies to the family and dear friends of Chris that feel his loss in their life. He was such a blessing.
