Below is a comment from the last blog that I thought you all should read:



This will probably be the least objective and most subjective response you will receive.....I am Christopher's mom. Like all moms, our emotions are closely tied to our children's emotions. I am sharing that roller coaster of feelings with Chris. I know he has mixed feelings, and I hope that with time and perspective, he will remember Christopher Pizza Co. with a smile and a sense of pride.

I remember Chris in college.... obsessed with learning how to make the perfect pizza. He researched and studied and all his friends became his "testers". He managed to perfect the pizza, and after a few years of trying some other occupations, he decided to open a restaurant. Of course, I worried: "How could he accomplish this?" (I am always the voice of worry and concern). He found this crazy little space (it looked like one lane of a bowling alley). He made it work...with Chris' determination, it was going to work! It became a friendly, quirky, cool, wonderful place, where almost everybody knew almost everybody's name (sound familiar?)

Maybe, under different economic times, he could have ridden the "wave of bad times" (kind of like parents of teenagers), but, unfortunately circumstances did not allow that to happen.

Whatever Chris decides to do in the future (there are a world full of children that would benefit from Chris' "daddy day care"), I know he will do it with energy (goodness knows he has lots of that), humor, creativity, exuberance, and, as he always does, with honor and respect for others.
