I am saddened to hear of Christian's passing. Our crew, including his brother Chris, had great times growing up in Savannah in the 70's rooting for the Dawgs, Notre Dame and creating mischief along the way. Christian had a one of a kind personality and he was a solid, honest and strong man. My heart and good wishes to out to the family.

I am so sorry to hear that Blue passed. He always had a joke or some wise advice to pass on to me at work. He was always there and available to help a fellow Union brother or sister out. My heart hurts for his family and friends. He was a man of great humility and integrity. He will be missed dearly.

Blue always had a smile and would give a helping hand if it was needed. He will be greatly missed at the port. My heart goes out to his family.

I found out from a friend about Blue passing away. To the family I pray for the grace and peace only God can provide. I started working for the ILA the same year as Blue. I considered him a friend and brother. Rest in peace

Our prayers are with you all. Blue was a great person and a wonderful friend to me. He was there for me when I was in need more than once. One time a couple of years ago I was on my way to work one morning from Tybee and realized once I was downtown that the Rock and Roll marathon had everything blocked off so I cut through a neighborhood by lathrope and while at a stop sign ran out of gas. Blue called to check on me and see where I was and if I was OK. I told him what happened and he didn't hesitate one second to come and rescue me. Once he got there he got me close to the gas station where I could fill up my can with gas and drove me back to my truck because it was pouring down rain and i had just had to walk against the marathon runner traffic in the rain from the gas station and was soaking wet. After all that the police had blocked off the entire neighborhood and we both ended up stuck...he never complained once and just said "I got you brother!". This story is just one example of the kind heart he had and I thought I should share it here. I will miss you Blue, may your soul rest in peace in heaven in the good graces of God. Thank you for everything!!!

Mr. Chris never failed to put a smile on my face or make me laugh every time I hung out with his daughter. It was a privilege to know him for the last 10 years. Rest easy. Prayers to this sweet family.

Deepest condolences to the entire family. Blue was certainly one of a kind. He made my job and days at work brighter without a doubt. A man that was always a pleasure to see, work with and talk to. His constant great attitude and smile were contagious. His eagerness to help anyone was always a shining light and it was always bright. You will be missed with that void felt for years to come. Rest easy my friend, until we meet again.

- Brian Orent, Midway, GA

My deepest condolences to the family. I've always said there have been no better CWC's, "chiefs on a boat" than Blue, George Howard, and a few of the other high-seniority guys. We could all learn a thing or two from them. I always enjoyed working with Blue. He treated people fairly and always got the job done. I had the privilege of working with all three brothers, and it was always a pleasure. Blue will truly be missed.
