    I served with Chris at Fort Knox 16th CAV. He was a great person and team mate and will be missed. It saddens me as the rest of the military communtiy to learn of this tragic loss. Strike Hard! Scouts OUT!

    Chris and I were classmates at WMU ROTC and later both at the Detroit Arsenal.

    Chris was an extremely dedicated and likable character- he and I worked together in the 16th Cav, both in 1/16, and in the Regimental S3 shop. He will be sorely missed by those with whom he served. Rest in peace, Brother, you have certainly done your part to earn it.

    Chris and I were good friends from WMU also with Gerry Bio, and when I heard this news I was crushed. We were in each others weddings in 1996, and I just pray for his wife and children as well as his mother and sister. Just makes me a little bit empty inside.

    Miss you Chris
