So very sorry to hear of your loss! I graduated from HHS with Chris in `86, & he was one of the detectives on my case when my condo was broken into. The case was actually solved & the guy put away! I considered him a friend, & I talked w/Chris on Facebook a few months ago when he told me he was sick. I pray he was able to spend his last moments, days, weeks, & months with his loved ones, & pray he is now at peace. Praying for healing for all of his family, especially his wife & children. He was a good man. May God be with you. Sending my condolences.

So sad to hear the news of Chris´s passing. He was a former coworker of mine & also worked with my Dad, PFC James M. Ross at NCPD. Chris was on the ball when he was working a case & I knew if I ever needed assistance, he was there to help. Prayers for his family that he left behind & may God be with you in your grieving process.
