<< I first met Chris in the late 70's when he was working at an independent record store called Crazy Rhythms. Having problems with my Austin Mini, I was glad to find someone who understood them (Chris was then Vice President and head wine expert at the New Jersey Mini Preservation Society).
Over the years, I found Chris to be one of the funniest, kindest, knowledgeable and complex people I had ever known. If he was in a room full of people, chances are that's where the most eclectic and interesting conversations were taking place.
He was an avid music lover, wine connoisseur, gourmet chef, Mensa member, DJ
on WFMU (check out http://wfmu.org/
Most importantly, he was devoted to his family, his Skye terriers and especially his wife April. Theirs was a bond lucky few have a chance to experience in a lifetime.
I am honored to have gotten to know Chris and consider him a close friend. He affected so many people in a positive way and was taken from us so before his time. It's hard to believe he's really gone.
For now I'd like to think he just beat me to the top of a long hill on his H.R. Morris and I'll just catch up to him one day.
