My thoughts and prayers go to the family of Chris Newman. I had the pleasure of working with Chris at Ardex several years ago and have periodically ran into him while in the New Brighton area. He was a pleasant man with a kind heart and will be missed by many. I returned from a 4-day business trip last night at 9PM when I read the sad news; otherwise, I would have paid my respects to him and his family. Again - I am so sorry for your loss.
