Chris’s favorite pastime was spending time reading , researching and studying the constellation system. Many a nights he would look at the constellation system and he would also do further research and find out mythological aspects, time and space continuum. Chris was very fascinated with the star movements, over billions of billions of years and he felt that they had a story and could unlock information as to where we are going and where we have been. He downloaded an app on his son’s ipods, so that they could learn the constellation system. Chris couldn’t understand as to why others didn’t have , what he called an open mind, he tried to explain his research in quantum physics. When Chris had the opportunity to be with his sons, he was very attentive to their needs and played a maternal and paternal role in parenting.
