We are very sorry for your loss. Did not know he was a retired police officer. Around here they are trying to get military to join the police force. They are ALREADY PREPARED. Know it was not easy watching this loss. They go down SO QUICKLY from this cancer most of the time. Our surgeon was lost last year from it. God bless you all as you say "farewell FOR NOW......till we meet again".

On behalf of the Société de Police - IPD Adam & Edward, our condolences to the family and friends of Nick Chris on his passing.
To the family, we offer the following thoughts: It will be the little things that you will remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help to push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
Eternal rest grant unto Nicholas Chris Jr., O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
