Thread [IMG alt=""]https://abs-0.twimg.com/emoji/v2/svg/1f9f5.svg[/IMG] I lost my son last week. Joe had a difficult life. He was born missing a portion of his spine. Technically spina bifida. He could walk, but after the age of about 25 he needed a cane to do so. He was disabled, and it was clearly visible. He was hunchback.

Sorry to hear, I talked to Chris many a time at SP, I had no idea.

Very heartfelt tribute on 'X'...

Being a legal bookmaker has to be tough on families. Most of the ones I know are divorced. These guys have their off day but when working, there 10-12 hours a day. NFL coaching days but at least they have a off season.

The passion of gaming brings them to work with little time for anything else. Same holds true for the gambler.

Given the extra effort it took to take care of his son and the mother basically disowning the son for years now couldn't have made the situation easy.

Sounds like chris's current wife was the care taker

Very sorry to hear.

Chris has had some real challenges in his life that most of us have not.

From his tweets, it sounds like he has had a lot of regrets.
