I worked with Chris on many projects in Ontario. He started the Ontario shuffleboard ass. on his very own. When i was president of the Can. Shuffleboard ass. he was my secretary treasurer. When we started the Chatham building, he brought the templets from Toronto to stripe our courts. Chris always knew how to get things done. Chris had health problems but never complained. Both Chris and his wife Anna along with Anna,s Mother were captured by the Russions in WW2. They were all lucky to of survived and to come to Canada. Anna also become a very good shuffler which she never expected to do. I always considered myself lucky to be Chris,s friend. I was proud when he asked me to introduce hin into the Florida Hall Of Fame.
