ABC 33/40 paid tribute to the reporter, saying, “Chris was a tremendous leader in our newsroom.”
“He worked with our reporting staff on a daily basis, but also worked behind the scenes with the I-Team and with news managers on coverage of major events,” his obituary continued. “You were very likely to get an email from him with a story idea in the middle of the night.
