    When I think of Chris, I especially smile. Of the three of us, Chris was the outgoing, energetic type. He had a lot of positive energy.

    Two memories of Christopher K. Hill

    He would come to the Poolhall in Moorpark all the time. His smile and energy is something I will never forget. Rest in peace my friend.

    Chris had exceptional love for our country. When I see an old Mustang or hear a Chris LeDoux song, I think of him. I'll never forget the good times we had together. He was a great friend. RIP Chris.
