Chris passed away from cancer in New York City in 2006 at the age of 63.

Using his real name, he hosted “The Rat House,” a syndicated talk show distributed to more than a hundred stations through Clearwater’s Sun Radio Network, and produced “Radio Ink Live,” the audio series for radio management, and marketing magazine Radio Ink.
