I worked with Chris at AT&T for 12+ years ending in 2021. Chris and I sat next to each other at the testing workstations in the lab testing various networking solutions. We always had a good time working the projects we collaborated on together, discussing the major golf tournaments, and bragging about the New York J-E-T-S and New York Yankees.
Chris was always upbeat and would bring a smile to everyone's face. I was saddened to hear about Chris' ALS diagnosis and wished him the best at a holiday gathering about a year and a half ago. He took the diagnosis in stride and continued to live his life as he had in the past until the disease took him from us early.
Rest in peace my friend. Show St. Peter you can still hit a 5 Iron 200 yards! Reserve a tee time for you, Dennis, Bob, and me for when we get there. Take Care.

PS: I could not make it to the wake as I tested positive for Covid over the weekend. I'm doing fine and hibernating so as not to infect anyone.
