I only met Chris once, about 6 weeks ago at the home of his Aunt Toni. I met him and his brother Carmen and Lexi that evening. What a warm and friendly group of young people. Chris had kind eyes and a gentle spirit. May God rest him, and bring all those who love him peace.

To the Cammuso Family, I'm origionally from the Albany area and check out the Obituaries in the Albany area a few times a week. When I saw Christophers Obituary, I started crying . My heart just aches for your tragic loss. I know what you're going through. I lost my 27 year old son to a homicide, 20 years ago. Your loss is the worst thing that can ever happen to a parent. You can survive this loss, hopefully you'll find friends and other people who have experienced a similar loss who can support you and listen to you when you need to be heard. My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
