My condolences go out to everyone of Chris' family and friends.  He was such a great person and I hope you can hold your memories of him close to your heart.
I worked with Chris at MetLife the whole time he was there.  He was a groomsman in my wedding.  I remember the drive to NY for the wedding and though it was long, he made it so much easier with his laughter.
When I first knew him, he loved his music, Star Wars, video games and his iguana.  Once he had his family though, that was what brought the light into his eyes everytime he talked about them.
Just know that he will be missed and his love for his family was what made him such a fighter.

God Bless ur family, All of you are in my thoughts and Prayers

I met Chris at the age of 17,we quickly became the best of friends.For the following two years we were inseperable.We had alot of fun and laughs together.Unlike me,Chris was always calm,cool and easygoing,kind of the ying to my yang.He always had that friendly smile on his face,and was kind to everybody.I will surely miss you my dear friend,and cherish the memories of our time together.

May you rest in peace my dear friend Chris. I remember so many memories of us growing up in the Town -N - Country area in High School. It was a pure pleasure to have you as a friend and I cherish each and every one of them. You will be missed so much. God Bless you and your Family. My love to you my dear Friend.

April and family,

We are so very sorry about Chris passing away.  I know this is such a very hard time for you, and it is my prayer that in the coming weeks, months and years you will find some comfort in the knowledge that he is not suffering any longer.  May each day bring you all a little more comfort and peace.  All our love - the Hendersons.

Chris, you were my big brother for so many years. You were my protector and when I needed you, you were always there for me. I have been blessed to be a part of your life for the past three years. I got to meet your wife, who is now a sister to me, and your children who are now a part of my heart. I am so sorry for their loss, for everyone's loss of such a great man. You never thought you were spectacular or amazing, but to the people that knew you, who had the pleasure to have you as a part of their lives, we all thought you were one of a kind. Your friendship and your love is going to truly be missed. You had a place in my heart that no one can replace. My thoughts and my prayers are with your family and as I told you in your last days, your family will be taken care of! I will always love and miss you!! Until we meet again, my dear brother!

The love of my life, best friend, my soul mate.  You came into my life to show me how wonderful and good it could be.  The love we shared will always be infinite like we always promised.  

You were a great husband, father and grandfather and no one has ever touched my life like you did.  I know I have to find comfort that you are well, but know that I miss you terribly. 

You are and will be the only one that truly knew me, deep inside of my soul.  When you left, a part of me left too and I will not be whole again until I'm with you again one day.  I still and always will love you with all my heart and soul.  My dear sweet Christopher Robbin I love you.

Good Bye my friend, you will be greatly missed.We had alot of great times growing up through the years and will never forget them.Until we meet again 
Rest In Peace

I worked with Chris at my first job many years ago. We all had so much fun back then with Chris and the "crew." I am so sad to hear of Chris's passing but am glad he is out of pain now and enjoying the glory of heaven. For the family, I pray for peace and strength to get through this hard time.. To Chris, I say.."we'll see you on the other side someday." God bless.

Chris, I know you have a VIP pass in heaven with your parents to guide you.  You are now a guardian angel to watch and protect your loved ones.  
 I loved the photo gallery; it brought tears to my eyes to remember you as a kid, to grow up and become a super cool dad. It has been an honor to be your sister in-law and remember the good times. 
Your strength will be carried on through your kids. Your young boys lost their dad too soon but with pictures and stories you will live through them>I love and miss you 
May you rest in eternal peace+ 
May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Renee

Chris, I have no doubt that Mom and Dad were there to greet you in heaven.  No more pain or sadness. Only peace and love now brother, in the hands of God. 

I will never forget our long bike rides as kids, playing from sun up to sundown, with not a care in the world. Or spending hours in the pool playing Marco Polo, and building that fort in the woods.  Wishing those summer days would never end. Memories I will cherish forever. 

I will never forget your love and compassion for animals. You brought every stray animal in the neighborhood home. The first thing out of your mouth was, can we keep it Mom? She always gave in. I will never forget what an amazing artist you were. To this day I do not know of anyone else that can look at a painting one time and draw it perfectly. You truly had a gift.

Over the years I have watched as you became a wonderful father and a trusted friend to so many. I know how hard you fought to stay alive for your boys, Holly and April. I wish they had more time with you, just one more day.

We will never let them forget what an amazing father you were, and how much you loved them. You were a wonderful human being that will be greatly missed.

We are heartbroken Chris, but our faith in God will see us through.

Until we meet again brother, rest in peace. 

I love you.

Colleen

I am so very sorry for your loss.  Dena and my mom were close friends and I and my sisters and brother grew up with Chris, Scott, Mark and  Colleen.  Actually, I used to babysit when our Moms went out.  You're all in my prayers.  God bless you.

I am so saddened by this news, I went to school with Chris starting in elementary school, He was one of the first friend requests I got on facebook and it was so special to me after all these years. He was a special person..God Bless his family. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.  Liz Kugel  (Willey)

I am glad you came into my life many years ago when you were dating one daughter and became such a friend to another daughter, Kitten. I still remember what you did in letting me buy your "Kawi" and the many miles of pleasure it gave me. You were a kind boy that became a kind, loving, caring man. Your time on earth was way too short, but I know that someday we will meet again in God's tomorrow.
