    Just ran into his niece in Hilton Head. I told her to say hello. Where do I begin. My best buddy growing up. From the cross country trip we planned as kids to the baseball cards we trade. From the long expeditions we took by bike to the woods we lit on fire. From baseball to football to hockey we did it all. Every one of my memories as a kid. I always knew we would have time to sit and talk about all of the old times but I pictured it in a bar. Now I'll have to wait till we meet in heaven. May god bless the grieving family you leave behind. Your buddy Ray.

    It's been too many years since I've seen Chris, he was a very dear friend growing up! I moved away so never had the pleasure of watching him marry and become a Father. I'm sure that he was wonderful to all of you! Please know that your family is in my thoughts and prayers! Taken away too soon, may he rest in peace. Be assured that his love will always be with you, as now he is watching over you forever! Blessed be.
