    They don't make'em like him anymore. I considered him my Best friend in the world and I miss him so much more.
    He can not be replaced. Every Tuesday when I leave my Rotary luncheon, I drive by his condo and as was always
    my practice, I drop by to see him. There is a hole in my heart for my brother. When one loses ones Best friend, He
    cannot be replaced. I pray to GOD that Chris is where he belongs, in Heaven.
