I was stunned to hear that Chris went home to be with the Lord. He is a great brother and always greeted me with enthusiasm and love. I had the honor of taking communion with Chris and his Mom Easter morning. Praying for the family.

Oh how we will miss you Chris! You had such an amazing knowledge of all things baseball, and could recollect every “l Love Lucy” episode with great laughter! You were such an amazing man with a personality to match. Now you are with your father Greg and Jesus in your heavenly home. Until we see each other again one day, we will cherish the memories of you. Prayers for Kathy and the family.

I recently spoke to someone from Trinity soup kitchen and learned of Chris’s passing. I was shocked to hear this. I volunteered at the soup kitchen with Chris and Doug. He was a great guy. Loved discussing baseball and football. Enjoyed seeing him every Tuesday, my day at the SK. Please accept my condolences. Hold on to your memories!
