I met chris....or as we all called him...vasquez...many many years ago when my friends owned a little hole in the wall.
Maybe he lived close by....I have no idea...he just somehow became part of the regular crowd. 
He was funny, nice, and I can't think of a time he was anything else.
We all became friends with him....and when the hole in the wall closed...many years ago...it was the last time we saw him. 
I was sorry to see he passed away and wanted to wish the family Condolences. 
He was really a nice guy none of us will ever forget.

Uncle Chris was amazing. He always welcomed me whenever I would come to visit and always made family gatherings so fun. I'm going to miss him.

To the family and friends of Chris. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

The family dinners we were part of you could see the  love  your family has for each other.

My deepest condolences.  Chris was a super nice guy.  He will be missed!  Peace be with you hope the fish are biting in heaven! 

Judy and Family...so so sorry in your loss of Chris...I didnt know him well or long...yet 1 time meeting him was enough for me to know ....Christmas Day at Judys house ...eating Christmas meal..he walked up to me and introduced himself with the brightest smile on his face...very welcoming and kind...I knew right then and there he had a giant heart and kindness about him...very pleasant and fun to be around....I am lifting you all up in prayer...its such a sad loss...peace and comfort for each one of you.....just sorry that was the only conversation I had or ever will with him...

Chris was a great guy who took his work very seriously but rarely bothered to take himself seriously. He always had a way of making you laugh either with a story (always about fishing), an idea of how something should actually be done or a colorful comment telling you how he really felt. He was also crazy smart and never tired of my endless questions. 

I'll miss his weird sense of humor. I'll miss chatting with him during meetings waiting for someone to ask "Is that good for IT?" and us trying to figure out what we're being asked. I'll miss him teaching me new things both work related and fishing boat shenanigans related. I'll even miss his Florida weather and ocean view updates. 

Enjoy your fishing trip, Chris. I hope the weather is good, the boat is sound and that you catch The Big One. You will truly be missed. 

I have so many great memories that it is hard to pick one.  Chris was always a "hold my beer and watch this" kind of guy.  90% of the time when I tried to ONE UP Chris, it ended in my embarrassment.  Events that embarrass me completely, just made him laugh and move on.  His "live and let live" lifestyle is something I aspire to.

I will never see some dufus with a ball-cap and a fish-hook on the brim without thinking of the many times I tried to get a rise from Chris for doing just that.  I still can't believe this popular trend. 
 He lived to fish and a bad day fishing was always better than a good day doing ANYTHING else.  EVERY PTO request CV ever submitted had a reason of "gone fishin".  

I had the pleasure of trying to teach Chris to golf a few years ago.  We had many good laughs and this was a great excuse to not work.   After golf, finding an excuse to wander into any random bar and have a night cap was always an option.

Not sure who I am going to call to fix my damn laundry door now. It is broken again and you have fixed it for me three times already.  Shanna probably won't appreciate me asking her to do my handy-man fixes.  Also no more pictures of "my view today" when I am sitting at my desk in snowy KANSAS!

Chris, I hope you catch some big fish wherever you dock.  You have "gone fishin" and I hope that you cherish the many memories we created together as much I cherish them.  I am still and will always be a better pool player though :)

I had the pleasure to work with Chris and get to know him. He always had a joke or something funny to say/share. Even on bad days he tried to make light of the situation. I will truly miss the fun times we had. Keep on fishing Chris!!!

Spent 18 years with this man through the good, the bad, and the amazing. He was mine and I was his no matter what. He will be missed by all. I don't even have the words to express my thoughts and emotions except that I will miss him more than he could ever imagine. I love him as simple and as complicated as that. 

One of a kind he was. Worked with him a while back and thankful I got to know him and his brother as well as their dad. Prayers for the family.
