    Chris’s was a shining presence at Curtis. As Admissions Director he worked with every student and faculty member at the school, and was much loved for his wicked sense of humor and love of life.

  • Alfred Wachs says:

    I am in deep shock. Chris was a dear friend with an extraordinary sense of humor. God bless.

  • MO says:

    I’m so very sad to hear of Chris’s passing. He was a good man who cared deeply for the students. The Curtis “family” treated him like so much rubbish in August 2020. Given his dedication to the place, he deserved much better than he got. Rest in peace, Chris.

  • Sara K. says:

    Died suddenly. Sad. RIP

  • TK says:

    Chris was a wonderful man. Kind, funny, and warm. He gave so much to Curtis and they treated him terribly in 2020. He deserved better. He will be greatly missed.
