  1. To my best friend of 48 years. We weren’t prepared for your leaving us this soon. There’s a hole in our hearts that will take a long time to heal. You were the BEST! We were a team! It won’t be easy to move on but we’ll do it for you. I will honor your friendship and memory by fulfilling your request.
    To Mary and the kids, I’ll be there for you.
    Love you forever brother!

  3. Our fun tradition of going to the Cardinal Home Opener every year will not be the same without your smilin’ face. The pictures of you and Terry always acting “silly” were followed by at least one rendition of your high school Alma Mater! Such wonderful memories. I’m miss the texts from you beginning in February that said “get the tickets yet?” Always made me laugh. My heart and many prayers go out to Mary and your family and of course, your best buddy, Terry McManus.

  5. We have lost a good man and a good guy! Chris had a great energy about him all the time I have known him, over 30 years. He helped a lot of people and had faith in people. We will all miss you, coach!

  7. I only knew you the last 5 years… but your leadership, your take no bullcrap attitude, and your honest opinions is what really obtained my respect. Your wrestling persona was one you had created & crafted perfectly. You could go in front of a dead crowd, say those 3 little words — “Shut Up Stupid” and ignite everyone into a burning frenzy. TRUE STORY.
    You will be missed…
    Sincerely,
