My friend and colleague, Chris lost his year-long battle with cancer this week. Chris enriched the lives of so many with whom he worked. He was a friend, a student of our business, an eternal optimist, a history buff, and a loving husband and father. He made many of us better people because of his friendship and infectious smile.

Chris leaves behind his wife, Natalya and their daughter, Sophia.- I would humbly request your support for their current and future needs.
