Condolence: Got to know Chris real well due to my bull periodically visiting his and Jo Nell's cattle. Could not ask for a better country neighbor. Chris will be missed

Condolence From: Dr. Jack Hardage
Condolence: I was shocked and felt a deep sadness when I read of Chris's passing. I was on the faculty of the UT Dental school when Chris was a student. I liked him immediately and his skills were so good I thought he was ready to graduate after his third year. Unfortunately the State Board required four years to be eligible to take the board exam. Chris sent me copies of his two books which I enjoyed greatly. I read the first to my wife as she was recovered from major surgery. She remembers.
I remember Chris and join you in your sorrow.

Condolence: Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Ortman family. Chris was our first dentist in San Antonio and was so missed when he moved to Nixon! He was also a great sportsman, athlete, story teller, and a friend to all who knew him. What a loss!

Condolence From: Andre' Dodd
Condolence: Chris was not only my dentist but a friend. The day he retired as a dentist was sad for me because I have not been able to find a dentist to compare to him since then. He has left a legacy that will be remembered by many. Rest in peace dear friend.
