I wish I could have been there today to say my goodbyes to Chris. He certainly was a fixture here at PWD Patuxent River. He was a good guy and always seemed to be around when you needed him. All of you are in my thoughts and prayers at Chris’ passing.

So sad to hear this. Chris was so interesting. I loved his stories about traveling the world and erecting communication towers. Who does that? I also enjoyed how he would rent an RV spot at the Solomon Navy Rec Center every year during the summer for his wife and grandkids to enjoy. I will miss you Chris…

Dear Lori,
I was so sorry to hear of Chris’ passing. I know from the many talks Chris and I had through the years how much he truly loved and adored you. He was a true friend to me and we had a lot of laughs telling each other stories. He was a very good resourceful guy with tremendous knowledge of many different trades and experiences. He took me under his wing and was very helpful and made a tremendous impact in my transition from the Pentagon Building Managers Office to Naval Facilities Engineering Command at PAX River NAS. I loved listening to all of his stories and life experiences. I will always remember the times when he and I would be cutting up telling stories and crabbing on my boat. I know he will be looking in on you and James as he loved talking about his grandson often. Jill and I are thinking of you and be sure that our thought’s and prayers are with you and your family.
