We too are saddened by the loss of our wonderful cousin Chris. He was always ready to share his talents with and for us. Everyone who met Chris couldn't but help loving him for the kind and gracious man he is. His smile was contageous.

Robert, you and Chris were good examples of two brothers who truly loved and cared for each other. My sons can learn a great deal from your examples-and the world would be a better place if we could all follow your example of how to treat our fellow men. Know we love you very much to.

Thank Heavens we have the gospel and our savior to help us remember we will once again be together.

Please know of our love and prayers

Dear Jim and Barbara and family.
I was in Idaho when I got a call that Chris had passed away. I have been thinking of him and all of you since then. Chris was always very kind to me and always friendly and took time out to talk a few minutes. I will miss him as I am sure you all will. I hope you are all doing OK at a time like this. Words really do not express my thoughts. Take care. Your friend.

I have great memories of Chris and the whole clan at Gammy's for Thanksgiving and Christmas parties. He was so nice and always was fun to talk to and play games with. Our families had some great holiday dinners together. I miss those days and feel a real loss at Chris' passing. Elizabeth Hawkes

Chris has been a wonderful friend to me for over 10 years. I was lucky enough to have him make my wedding cake over 5 years ago, and someone who I could call on anytime for cooking/baking questions.
Chris, thank you so much for your friendship and your inspiration to me. You are now free to fly with the angels.
You will be missed!
