Condolences & Memories (33 entries)

• Shocked to learn of his passing... Chris was always great to work with but he was an even better friend. I always enjoyed our personal discussions - "meet for a quick drink after work" could easily turn into a 4 hour deep-dive discussion. Chris showed me the plans for his dome house - he was so excited to get started. What a shame. - Posted by: Michael Alward (Coworker / Friend) on: Dec 13, 2015

• I was shocked when I heard Chris had passed away. I am still in shock and disbelief. Having dated Chris for 4yrs I have many special memeories. We managed to stay friends and a true friend he was. I loved him and the world will not be the same without him. Chris shared a special bond with my children. Doing 'man' things with my son and giving motorcyle rides to my daughter making her giggle for hours! He was a great and special man. He will be truly missed. My deepest sympathy to Lois,Bob,Vincent and all family members - Posted by: Charlene (friend/former girlfriend) on: May 13, 2013

• I am so sorry to hear of Chris' passing. He was a true professional yet he managed to know people on a personal level. He was more than a fair boss, he was someone who was willing to help and advise. More importantly, he'd love to share time, enjoy good food and have a good laugh. He will be missed. - Posted by: Fernando B (co-worker) on: May 02, 2013

• I was deeply saddened to hear about Chris's passing. My deepest condolences to the family. I had many dealings with Chris over the years, more so recently with the new addition at Cubex. We talked many times about his new dome house, and we were looking forward to wiring it for him. He was a true professional and a real gentleman. A couple of years ago, I suffered a heart attack myself and was fortunate to have a quad bypass. Once I was back at work and at meetings in his office, he never neglected to ask me how my health was and how I was doing. My staff who had dealings with Chris always praised what a good guy he was. Chris your will be truly missed by your electricians. - Posted by: Larry Liebrecht (Electrical Contractor for Cubex) on: May 01, 2013

• Chris is someone I loved spending time with, guaranteed to make me laugh so hard I would cry. We spent hours together laughing, sharing, and enjoying each others company. Time has passed since we last talked but it doesn't really matter. Here I am tonight, unbelieving, remembering, and deeply saddened. My sincere condolences and thoughts are with his family and those who loved him. - Posted by: Carol Corenblum (West) (coffee buddy in the 90s / Brandon friend) on: Apr 27, 2013

• Dear Bob, Lois & Vincent, You may not remember me, I grew up across the street from you on 26th street in Brandon (and Mrs. Ross, you actually taugt me in kindergarten at Meadows). And Chris and I often played together and hung out during that time. I was very saddened to learn of Chris's passing. I recently connedted with Chris, and quite by surprise as our professional careers crossed paths. It was nice to make that connection. I just wanted you to know that I appreciated your son and your brother. I always found him to be fun and interesting, and a genuinely good and decent guy. To learn of his academic achievements and career successes was certainly no surprise to me. The bottom line was that your son was a genuinely good man that I appreciated and admired, and I will always remember him that way. Please accept my condolences on Chris's passing. I will keep you all in thoughts and prayers. - Posted by: Terry Josephson (Friend) on: Apr 27, 2013

We will miss you. - Posted by: Marco De Luca (Friend) on: Apr 26, 2013

• I think I speak for everyone when I say that all involved in working towards the realization of Chris' new home were really looking forward to the challenge of building it this summer - and that we are truly stunned and saddended that this work has to stop. Chris was one of those rare 'dream clients' and I will miss our provocative discussions. He was Yin and Yang. Decisive yet open-minded. Cautious yet daring. He knew what he wanted but he also knew that the journey to get to what he wanted might take him to unexpected places... and he seemed to really like that. Fare thee well, good Sir. - Posted by: Desmond Burke, MAA (Architect for his new home) on: Apr 26, 2013

• Chris was one of my best friends in junior high when we both were into programming and other geeky stuff. We lost track with each other after university but recently reconnected through Facebook, which was great. Like picking up where we left off. I was looking forward to visiting him in his new home. Like him it promised to be quirky, cool, and fun. He is truly missed and the world a lesser place for his absence. - Posted by: Bill Galloway (Friend) on: Apr 25, 2013

• I was devastated to learn of Chris's passing. I only knew him through stories from his proud family, but reading his obituary, I can see what a wonderfully rich and productive life he lived and what a wonderful person he must have been. It is so sad that he will not be able to build his dream home and enjoy his music and his family there. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you. - Posted by: Denyse Forman (Friend of the family) on: Apr 25, 2013

• I am so sorry to hear of Chris's passing. One of the friendliest guys to walk the halls of Vincent Massey. My last story of Chris in first year university and we both had our wisdom teeth out at the hospital the same day and the nurses telling me Chris was checking up on me as I didn't fair too well. Great guy! - Posted by: Lisa Andersen (Brown) (School) on: Apr 25, 2013
