I remember one Halloween when Chris came to the office dressed as a witch doctor. He had on a mask and a grass skirt. Nobody knew who he was. He jumped around the office in quite a frenzy and even picked-up his assistant at one point! We were in complete shock to find out it was Chris. Prior to that, his most extensive Halloween costume was a sweater (no tie!) with a sign reading "College Student" on his back. Chris provided us with some good laughs at SFA, but this was the best.

We have many good memories of Chris playing in our Spring Squash Classics, dinner together and sharing family similarities. Chris made a difference in my life that only a few fully appreciate. I will miss our conversations and his wisdom.
