We were saddened to read of Chris&s passing. While we have been out of touch in the
past few years we have fond memories of many tennis games. Jim especially remembers many singles games at Kingston courts in the hot summer time. Chris was
always up for a game of tennis.

Please accept our sincere and heartfelt sympathy.

Pat and Jim Skifstad
