Private Cremation
Christine, Eric & family: In reading through all these tributes I can see what wonderful man your dad was and how deeply he touched the lives of others. Now I know where you get your beautiful nature from Christine. What a great legacy Chris leaves behind! Love you always, Cousin Ellen
Chris, words cannot describe the heartache that I feel and always will feel. George loved you more than anything you were his best friend. You know I will always take care of him for you. My children loved you more than anything. They looked up to you so much. Jj said "grandpa is the coolest man alive and was so smart who will I learn from now?" I am so happy we became a part of your family and jj got to be your grandson for almost six years . Nathan has your name as his middle name because we adored you. And Bella you raised her with George and she is the girl she is today because of you.…
I will miss you. We had fun at work a lot of laughs. Thank you for that. It will not be the same without you!
Maryanne
Happy Birthday in Heaven Chris. It was a blessing having you in our lives for over forty years. Countless memories will have to do until we meet again. I'm sure you are holding on tight to our Ladybug Lucille.
Love you Susan & Michael
Dear Chris, not only did you bring my mom so much joy, but you made such an impact on our family over the years. Finn loved doing Legos with you or when you watched him hit baseballs. Clare pretended she "wasn't talking to Chris" or wanted you to make her jewelry. I will remember your laugh, easy going personality and the love I saw you give my mom. The love others have for you is such a testament to how special you were, and I feel lucky to have known you and experienced your special personality over the years. To say you'll be missed is an understatement, rest easy.
