May the Angels guide Chris home, and keep a watchful eye on you all. All my sincere sympathies. Im so sorry for you to have to go thru this .
Suzette, Chris and I were classmates in high school. I remember him as always being very respectful. I’m very sorry for you and your family’s loss. It seems so unfair especially when he had just retired and I’m sure was looking forward to spending more time enjoying his family and his hobbies. All of you are in my prayers.
Please accept my sincere condolences in Chris passing. He and I were friends during our school years. I will always remember him as an honest, straight forward man with a true sense of humor. May the Lord accept him as his humble servant.
