There are no words that adequately express the gratitude I feel for Christopher's existence. He was THE BEST pal & mentor! I loved the music he played & his singing...a bit of a celebrity in my eyes. We enjoyed karaoke & jamming together... those were amazingly special days. I hope to find some recordings on video of him singing that we took on his iPhone. Godspeed my friend. Remember me to our family & friends up yonder... too many to name. ♥

Chris's love of music and heart bonded us together and he became my dear friend. I found Chris to be a compassionate and loving person. Always thinking of others and putting them first in his heart. I will forever miss him and know I was fortunate to know such a loving soul. My condolences to the Hill family and friends. My condolences to the the staff at Iroquois Lodge who grew to know him and love as well.
