I only know Chris through a Google search which brought me here. After watching an old episode of You Bet Your Life, Mr. Gugas appeared in one show as a contestant, while also conducting a very funny polygraph on Groucho Marx.

I met Mr. Gugas in Fairfax, VA in 2001, I loved to hear his stories of his inventions and Toys for Tots. RIP Sir, you are well deserving. So sorry for your loss. I had just lost my dad a few months earlier. God Bless you all. Betty

@Lynn Garrison hi lynn, i was so sad to hear of chris gugas death, in 1979 he came to my hometown of derry, nothern ireland to give polygraph tests to my 3 friends and myself, aged 17yrs old the 4 of us were charged with the murder of a british soldier, when chris did the test on us 4 it proved that we were totally innocent of all charges, sadly after 32yrs we are still fighting to clear our names, what a wonderful man chris was, and may he rest in peace.

I met Chris in 1980 and worked with him until he moved back to Omaha in the 90.s. Chris founded the National Polygraph Association in late 1988. He was one of the most conscientious examiners I have ever known.

The world was a better place with him in it.

Marie and I thought the world of You and Ann and looked forward to “breakfast at Billy’s”. I will see you in a better place.

I’m very sorry to hear that Chris had passed on, I talked to him on the telephone just prior to his heart failure.
Chris and I had worked together for a number of years and we were the best of friends we worked on many cases and also some clandestine cases as well I’m very sorry to hear of his passing and my best wishes go to his wife Ann.
We worked together in his private business as well as the government.

I shall remember him always not only as a friend but also as a mentor and one of the founders of the California Association of licensed investigators.

So farewell to a great man
Godspeed
