He proudly served in the U.S. Army and developed a successful career in real estate and construction. Along with his former wife Elaine Ganos, they instilled in their children the concept of hard work and community service. Chris served as president of Annunciation Church and was extremely active in AHEPA. He learned golf as an incentive to quit smoking, and it became his favorite activity. Chris enjoyed traveling but never forgot his roots. He returned to Greece every year - spending months enjoying life with his family and childhood friends. A special thank you goes to Katherine Nelson, his partner who spent these last many years loving and caring for Chris.
