So long my friend....I am glad we became friends, and got to hang out a few times. I will miss our discussions on Guitars & Amps. See you on the other side.
Chris was my neighbor. We would have conversations in the back parking lot. So sorry for your loss. My his soul rest in peace.
Very sorry for your loss, from the stories I've heard - Chris had a full life and was cherished and loved by many. May you experience God's peace as you celebrate his life.
I worked with Chris at Tandy, Altech-Lansing and Peavey. He was an excellent fellow to work with, and we turned out some really great products in the day. I remember meeting Amber when she was a little bitty girl. Amber, i'm really sorry for your loss. I bet your Dad is kickin' it in some rockin' band right now! With Otis at his side...
You will be greatly missed Dad. I wish now more than ever I could listen to your stories of Japan, your vast computer knowledge, or just to hear your voice one more time. Love you
Prayers for you and your family Amber. I am so sorry. Cassie C Grandjean-Moody (from UNT)
Love you Dude. Saturday we celebrate you.
I bet Otis was waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for him. Chris loved that little pug.
I am so sorry, Amber. We are praying for peace and comfort for you and the family. So thankful that you have sweet memories.
My favorite one was when we were at a football game and he turned around and told the guy behind him he was yelling too loud!!!!
He loved his family. We can never forget his famous yell "SIT DOWN" as he kicked a chair across the floor at Del Pueblo restaurant. He did this to protect our family.
Our thoughts and prayers remain with you and your family. We are honored by the trust and confidence you have placed in us during this difficult time.
