He is also survived by his parents, Jim and Pat Nicholas of Rotterdam; his sister, Kerri Nicholas of Richmond, Va.; his two grandmothers, Mary Clark of Rotterdam and Dorothy Nicholas of Albany; his great aunt, Ruth Brady of Rotterdam; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

Christopher, I miss you so much. It's 18 years today you were taken from us. Not a day goes by I don't thinking of you or miss you. You would have been 55 on 1/14/2025. That seems impossible. I remember holding you when you were born, it seems like yesterday. Rest in peace. I love you!

Dear Christopher, once again I'm late writing for your birthday. It's always a tough day for me. I remember holding you for the first time and thought you'd always be here for the rest of my life. God had other plans though. You are in my thoughts everyday. I still find things that were yours like Lego's and your matchbox cars. I pray those are signs from you that you are still with me in spirit. You've been gone 18 years and it seems like yesterday. I love you always! The boys are young men now. Jack is a Marine, you'd be so proud of him. Kyle is engaged, imagine that!
Love you,
MOM

Chris, I missed writing on 1/31 as dad and I were driving all day to Kerri´s then the next day to Mrytle Beach. Wish you were here with us.
I can´t believe you have been gone 17 years. Long hard years for those left behind. Not a day goes by that I don´t think of you, see or find something that you´ve left at our house. Many of the family have gone after you, I hope it´s true and you are seeing them again.
My love for you is the same I first held you in my arms. The boys are good, Jack a Marine like Papa was. Never saw that coming and he makes me proud.

Happy heavenly birthday Chris! You would be 53 today. Not a day goes by you are not in my thoughts. How quickly time goes by and I still can´t believe the baby boy I delivered January 14, 1970 would be taken from me in a car accident. I thought as I grew old you would be my crutch. Guess God had other plans. I love you and miss you every day. Rest in peace my sweet son.
Love, Mom

Christopher, 15 long years without you. How much I miss you cannot be measured. I hope you are with Gram, Papa And Aunt Ruthie. If so I know you are in good hands. Dad flew to San Diego to see Jack graduate into the Marines. He seems to love it. Kyle is done with school and in love. He reminds me of how you fell for Elizabeth. You left many memories. Till we meet again my wonderful son.

Chris it has been so long since you left but it seems like yesterday that we got the phone call. I remember it as if it was yesterday. So sorry we lost a great light in our world. You were such a great guy and my son's "brother"! Miss you always Tom and Genie Mastropierro

Mom

January 14, 2022

Happy 52 birthday! I miss you so. The boys are now grown men. Jack joined the Marines and you would be so proud of him. Kyle graduated NAU with two degrees. Life sure did not work out as planned the night you were born.
I love and miss you.

Know it is a long time since you left but it still seems like yesterday. Remember coming home to a message your Mom left. Unbelievable and never should have happened. You were such as fine young man and such a wonderful "brother" to our Joseph. Will always think of you with your grin and that laugh. Know you are so missed and especially in this world today that could use a fine man like you. Love you always. Genie and Tom Mastropierro

Chris, was thinking about you today ol' chum. I think about you from time to time. Mostly I think what a bummer it is that you're not with us. Was also just thinking - We met when I was 18 years old. Crazy huh. Doesn't seem all that long ago. You're missed bud. -Ger

Christopher, tens years have passed since that horrible night when you were hit and killed by that young girl driving drunk. I will never forget the phone ringing at 4 a.m. And Elizabeth telling me you were dead. How could that be, I must have been dreaming. You had e-mailed me earlier. I never dreamed that would be the last I would hear from you. I love and miss you every day of my life. Sending hugs and kisses to you in heaven.
Love,
Mom

Happy Birthday Chris, No matter how many years pass we still have fond memories of you. I especially can see that big smile, twinkling eyes, and hear that wonderful laugh!! We are so grateful that we had the chance to meet you when you were at Clarkson. You were such a wonderful friend and "brother" to Joe. We all were blessed by knowing you. God be with you Chris, as I know He is. Love Genie and Tom Mastropierro

Genie & Tom Mastropierro

January 31, 2016

Chris, Here it is another year. The time flies but does not ease the hurt of athe loss of a great young man. You were Joe's best friend-the brother he did not have. I was so glad you found each other at Clarkson. You were so much alike and I know he misses you as must as everyone who has ever had the pleasure of knowing you. My brother, Jack Rose is up there with you know since Sept. He can laugh as much as you so look for him and tell him I miss him. Miss you. Love Genie & Tom

January 31, 2016

Christopher, it has been nine years today that you were taken from us so suddenly. I grieve everyday but on this day I feel numb and lonely. I talk about you to the boys. Jack is now playing your trumpet, how neat is that. Love and miss you.

Happy Birthday Chris. Sorry it is late-the older I get the days just go faster and faster and it is amazing how you lose track. Still think of you and your family. Wish you were here, laughing with Joe. Love Genie & Tom Mastropierro

Gerry Cooney

January 21, 2015

Was thinking about you today Chris. You were my friend, my roommate during my sophomore year/your junior year. So many laughs, memories. One stands out - that time you saved my behind when my computer crashed just before I had finished a term paper; you were like that- helpful, unassuming, a good friend. Still sad that you left us so soon, still hard to believe. So unnecessary. So unfair. You're missed bud, you're missed. -Ger

January 14, 2015

Hi! Chris, Here it is another Thanksgiving. The time seems to fly by in the wink of an eye. Niss you and Joe and I speak of you and your family often.

Know you are with the angels but wish you were here. Love Genie

Mom

June 16, 2013

Happy Father's Day Chris. I miss you so and this is such a hard day for the boys when everyone is having a special day with their dads and Kyle and Jack cannot experience this with you. They are growing so and you would be so proud of them. Elizabeth is doing a wonderful job of being mom and dad to them both.

January 30, 2013

Chris, Another year has passed. We miss you and think of you often and still wonder why you were taken from all of us way too soon. I know it is not for us to question but knowing what a fine young man you were makes us question "why" anyway. Smile down on us and laugh when we do and let our tears show how much you are missed. Love Genie and Tom

Genie Mastropierro

January 15, 2013

Chris, Happy Birthday in heaven with all the angels and your grandma. Miss you and think of that twinkle in your eye and sometimes when I am speaking to Joe I swear I almost hear your laugh. Remember visiting the "Apt" at Clarkson where you guys ran a pretty good home-considering a bunch of single guys "Odd couples" living together. Again, Happy Birthday Love Genie

Chris, Sorry this is past Easter but did think of you. Was in Pa. visiting Joseph for Easter and we had a good visit. We still miss your laugh and just miss you as a great friend to Joseph. Know you are with all the angels and probably making them laugh. Keep in touch by that modern thing "e Mail" with your Mom. Love Genie Tom and Joseph

January 31, 2012

Christopher,
Today I sit and think of you, just like I think of you every day, but today the pain goes deeper. It was five years ago today that you were taken from us by a drunk driver, never to have the chance to say goodbye. They say it gets easier but it doesn't. I hope you know how much I love you and miss you.
All my love,
MOM

Dear Chris, Did not forget you at Christmas. Tried to do way to much to prepare to go to Pa. to see Joe. Much more than "old Slow" Me is able to do. Everything seemed so hectic. Joe and I spoke of you and he also misses you and especially your laughter. He says "Life was so much easier at Clarkson and he loved having you as a friend---The brother he never had) I know your Mom and Dad also miss you so. I keep in tough with your Mom often. Have a good New Year in heaven and remember how loved you are. Love ya!!

December 25, 2011

Christopher,
Today, as everyday, we miss you so much. What is Christmas without you watching the Christmas Story over and over all day long and hearing your laughter. You are in our hearts always. We love and miss you.
Love,

November 24, 2011

Christopher,
On this Thanksgiving Day, as every day, you are on my mind. It was six years ago today that you were last with us for Thanksgiving. I can still remember vividly that visit and wish you were with us again today. We miss you so, there are no words to describe the pain of not having you here with us. My love for you remains as strong as the day I first held you in my arms. I miss you so.
All my love,
Mom

Dear Chris, Here it is another Thanksgiving and I know you are missed. One thing though, you are one of the people I am thankful for having the pleasure of knowing.

Hi! Chris, Just thinking of you-no special reason. Know you are in good hands with the angels. Joe misses you also and we speak of you often. Every now and then you suddenly appear in my mind-(no ryme or reason). Your Mom sent a picture of your boys-My how they have grown. Look like Dad!!! Love and miss you. Genie Mastropierro

I knew Chris from Schalmont High School. He was a very kind and intelligent person. I am very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family.

Pat Nicholas

January 31, 2011

Christopher, four years ago today you were taken from us. Time does not erase the pain. We burn a candle for you in the window every night. Losing you was such a senseless act of a drunk driver. You had so much to live for. Your boys are growing so and Kyle is a teenager now. Elizabeth has done a wonderful job of taking over the role of both parents. Jack is a cub scout and plays soccer. Kyle plays all kinds of instruments, even the guitar. The only thing missing in their lives and ours is you. Love you and miss you always.
Love,
Mom & Dad

41 years!!! I find it hard to get that image as I still see you Chris, as that special college student with the big grin and great personality. We feel so blessed to have met you and also we always felt blessed that Joseph had you as a friend when he went to Clarkson. We never worried about him since we knew he had such a GOOD, WONDERFUL friend. Happy Birthday and may you celebrate with the angels and know we are all thinking of you and of course, missing you. Chris you were and always will be the BEST!! Love Genie and Tom Mastropierro

January 14, 2011

Happy 41st Birthday Chris. I wish you were here to blow out all those candles. I miss you more everyday. Love and miss you.

Christopher,
Here we are at our fourth Christmas without you. It gets no easier and the pain never goes away. You are with me in thought and in my heart every day of my life. They say the pain goes away but it only gets worse with each passing year. I know you will be with us in spirit this holiday. I love and miss you so.
Love,
Mom

November 25, 2010

Christopher, once again it is a Thanksgiving without you. It has been four years since you were last here and ate Thanksgiving with us and then two months later you were taken from us forever. My grief never ends, you are always with me. I will love and miss you always.

Again find myself thinking of Chris. He was far too young to go but I know he is in heaven making all the angels laugh.. His great smile was always there. I know Joseph still misses him and thinks of him often. Pat and Jim and Kari--we will never forget Joe's best friend at college. They were like brothers and Pat you always made Joseph feel like one of your family We know why Chris was so special!

Been thinking of Chris and both of you and Kari over the holiday. I know the 2nd year is coming and I still find it hard to belive.

Dear Pat and Jim,
How proud your mother was of you and it was always so nice to hear about you and the family. I remember her running out of the office to Bellvue to see her first grandchild. How sad to lose a son, a husband and a father so very young. Chris and the family have been in our prayers and thoughts and we send our deepest sympathy.
