I will always remember our Coliseum Food Court Mall Rat days together and drives to Virginia Beach. How he made me smile and laugh. Such a character. Way too soon my friend, but Heaven received a wonderful new angel. My condolences to his family. RIP Chris.

Chris and I were childhood friends. As young kids we roller skated all over the neighborhood. He was so much fun! As teenagers we played spades for hours. He almost always won, but I'm not sure if that was due to skill alone or maybe a little cheating too. I loved those days with my dear friend and I am so sad to hear of his passing.
