We looked to his weather and forecasts before every trip and shared his knowledge with others who were travelling to WDW. Sympathy to his family and friends.
Very sad! My condolences to our weathermans family.

So sad and so sudden. :(
Many thoughts and prayers go out to Christopher's family and friends, including all here on INTERCOT.

So sad to read this news this morning. Prayers for family and friends who knew him personally and prayers for all of us here who will miss his kindness and dedication to the people like me who he never met personally, but to whom he was so very helpful and giving.
God bless you, Chris. You will be missed.

I too am in shock. We also always looked to Chris for the weather regarding a trip. I loved his passion for meteorology. My prayers are with his family at this sad time.

It's funny how we feel bonds with other Disney folks here on intercot. I always enjoyed reading his posts and felt like he was a great help to anyone browsing the boards. Godspeed friend.

So sorry to hear this. I would always check his thread for our trips and even check out the hurricane report from him. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family. He will be greatly missed.
:(
I am scared of flying but have had to do it frequently due to my job. His explanation of turbulence always goes through my head to reassure myself. "It's just like driving on a road, and the road gets bumpy."
I'll meet you at the Rainbow Bridge.
Thoughts and prayers with his family and friends today.
I always looked forward to checking his forecast for upcoming trips. He will be greatly missed!

Sad to hear this news... Chris messaged me several times, with words of encouragement, after my mother passed... Tried to help me deal with a tough situation... I could tell he was a great person, a decent individual, and those kinds of people are hard to come by today... My condolences to his family and friends... May he rest in peace...

Thanks for sharing this information. So sad. He was part of my countdown routine and would always check his posts for the weather as we got closer. We are leaving in two weeks, and I was logging in to see the update. Praying for his family.
First Trip ¨¨*:•
Fort Wilderness Resort and Campground - June, 1974
Last Trip ¨¨*:•
Port Orleans/Saratoga Springs - March, 2017
Next Trip ¨¨*:•
Bay Lake Tower - March, 2018
And about 40 more in between....
My heartfelt condolences extend to all who's lives he has touched either through weather, support, Disney, etc. How terrible for everyone to lose such a personable and encouraging individual who honestly cared so deeply for others. May his wife and sons find peace in knowing how many people whom his life impacted.
