My deepest Condolances to Chris's loved ones. I met Chris in College 94 or 95 and helped with signing up students for Spring Break in Daytona Beach. While we never chatted often we would exchange funny comments in passing on FB. Chris was always a funny genuine guy. I was shocked to hear of his passing, happy I could call him friend and saddened by his loss. R.I.P. Chris.

My husband and I met Chris several years ago while we were attending a Business Plan course and Chris was a facilitator. My deepest condolences to his wife, family and friends. The most outstanding quality I admired most in Chris was his relentless pursuit in friendship. RIP Chris.

Dear Kathleen, with tears in my eyes, I post this note of condolence. Your husband is a dear friend. I met him through twitter and he eventually came to work for my company Peppermaster on occasion, you may recall.

Aside from having the biggest heart of anyone I have ever met, I will sorely miss his irreverent sense of humour. He was a pleasure to work with and even more fun to chat with.

May you find peace and solace at this most difficult time.

A friend told me of Chris' passing. I am very sorry to know of your loss, Kathleen.

Chris was someone I met at the East Hamilton Employment Resource Centre in 2004 and he did talk about his VERC work with Janet. I did on one occasion meet you later in the city as Chris often waited for you after work to go out somewhere.

What I remember is how many times while he and I were waiting for the Parkdale bus back to Queenston Road, he would talk about some adventure he had. The Spring Break trip to Florida comes to mind.
