    Although I did not personally know Chris, his mother Gail was a good friend from high school. I was in Gail and Gene's wedding and knew them well. I know how difficult it is to lose someone so young. KW and I want to extend our deepest sympathy and love to his family.

    I did not know Chris but I had worked with his dad, Gene and gone to school with Gail. I lost my daughter (only child) two years ago at age 45, so Chris is close to her age. My heart goes out to all his family in their loss and I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I am so sorry for your loss.
