To the Family of Chris Poole, please know you have my deepest sympathies and are in my thoughts and prayers. Hearing about Chris passing was such a shock. I had the privilege of not only working with Chris at the Safety & Health Council but also having him as one of my Instructors. Chris will be truly missed!
Chris excelled as a safety professional and instructor. I was privileged to work with him and have him as a friend.
My sincere condolences to all of his family.
Chris was a man with a good heart and I will miss him.
I am looking out over the ocean and wondering where all the time has gone. Chris will be in our hearts forever and he may walk with us at times also. My cousin Chris was a wonderful father, grandfather and a wonderful Son.. To my Aunt Doris.,In closing today please don’t cry we need to be strong. Chris loves us and we love him. And to Chris!
