Gayleen and Family: I am shocked at this news about Chris. I am a long time friend / customer. Chris has been my go to man since his first shop.I would check on him from time to time even if my truck was ok. I enjoyed his knowledge and wisdom. I brought him some tomatoes and we talked about religion and faith. I know he knew his savior. He spoke of Gayleens strong faith, he loved her. I will miss you my friend.

December 4, 2010

Gayleen & family: We just heard about this within the hour. Gary & Chris were good friends back in the day, their paths crossed in their youth when they were running in the same circle, later did a lot of car racing together. Wtihin the past 15 years became reacquainted when Gary sold him car parts thru Kragen - and considered him to be 'our' mechanic. They even commiserated as they were both insulin dependent and shared the 'if we had known then what we know now' stories. Had we heard,in time, we would have been at the service. Chris was one of the few from the 'old days' that Gary considered a friend, and often dropped by the shop when in Lodi to visit. He will be missed. Our sincere condolences to his family Gary & Judy Schnabel

I know that you are strong women and that you will come through it. You will always miss Chris for he was part of you, but, with the Lord's help you will be able to enjoy the memories you made with him, without pain, in due time.You are MIGHTY WOMEN OF GOD, and He will give you the strength you need to get through each day. love, Betty Smith

Gayleen and girls,
When Paul called to tell me about Chris, I was just stunned. Like Paul said, "Chris has always been bigger than life". What an accurate statement. Words can not possibly express my heartfelt sympathy for your huge loss. Please know that there are many who have been touched by Chris, his silly sense of humor, his love and dedication to his family. Gayleen, you and Chris have always been an inspiration. God bless you at this most difficult time.

In my minds eye, I can see a very tall Chris teasing (with kindness) my sons when they were about 5 and 6. He would rub their buzz cut heads and make them giggle. I know he will be missed by all that knew him.
