Christopher was a funny guy and loved to make others laugh and smile. He loved spending time with his family & friends, great food, swimming, and music. He was a Christian, an entrepreneur, and loved telling stories. Christopher was unabashedly true to himself and loyal to others. He did not fear this time and made peace with the Lord. He will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace my friend. Enjoyed having you over for the holidays here in Florida.
You will be missed, Rest In Peace we always enjoyed visiting with you.
Chris talked about you many times and I’m privileged to have finally met you a couple of months back. We sat there at the table, told stories, and we laughed. I will always remember you and that short time we spent together. You will be missed. God speed ahead.
I haven’t had the privilege of meeting Christopher, but I know his son Chris. If Chris is even a partial reflection of his father he must have been a terrific example of being a good man, husband and father. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
Oh! Say it ain’t so! Christopher…so glad we “re-connected” after so many years. You were a great kid to grow up with and an even better man to call my friend. I miss talking with you already. I loved your love for your Lord n your family. Sue, you and the kids (et al) are in my prayers. If I can do anything at all, please don’t hesitate to call on me. Godspeed, good friend.
My condolences Sue, he will be missed.
Chris was a really fun guy to be around! You will be missed dearly! I’m sure our Lord is now enjoying your stories!
Chris you used to make me laugh and I remember you from Japhitts parties, the parties at my brothers house on 18th in Melrose. Now you’re singing for the Lord and making him laugh. Rest in Peace my friend…….
Our deepest condolences, you were a great guy, lived life to the fullest. Always had a great time with you my friend.
I went to grade school with Chris. Although I never saw him again after 8th grade, I think of him when I remember all of the funny things he said and did, and they still make me laugh after all these years. . I don’t recall him making fun of anyone, he just made comments about situations and they were almost always hilarious and spot on. My deepest condolences to his entire family. He will be remembered fondly and missed by many.
Sue and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Chris from the old Bellwood neighborhood, and remember him as a really good guy.
