I remember hanging with Chris and Bill Leidersdorf in the mid-1980s when they ran Star Bike Shop on Montgomery Cross Road. Very sad to learn of his passing. A fine man gone to soon.

My condolences and prayers to you, Chris, and your family. I, like many others, met Chris through the game of darts, from which our friendship started years ago. Your smile and the energy you brought out when around friends, will not be forgotten. You were tough on a dart board, but, you were tougher in life, you have earned your wings. Thanks for being my friend. RIP.

The world has lost a great human being and I have lost a treasured friend. Rest In Peace Chris. Know that all the laughs, the lessons taught and time behind you on the bike (even those times when you dropped me just to see me struggle) are treasures to me and certainly many others. I’ll see you again someday my friend.
