Uncle Chris, a true gentleman! A man who on the surface was funny, loud, and always very talkative. But as I said, this was only the surface of a man who was amazingly gentle, kind, and thoughtful. Thanks and wishes for peace to this loving uncle who held our hands and made us smile at a difficult and emotional time in our lives---a true gentle man. Love to all, Marie and Vinnie

Chris was my next door neighbor for many years.
He loved his wife and family and had a great love of life and wonderful stories.
