Chris,
We shared many great times in high school. You were a great team mate in football and baseball, as well as one of my best friends. Though we only saw each other a few times since then, I always enjoyed catching up. I'm sorry we didn't spend more time together after high school. You will always be one of my brothers. Though you weren't with us long enough, you should be very proud of where you ended life on earth. I'm sure you are enjoying an exciting new time in an even better place. You will always be in our hearts.

My thoughts and prayers are with Chris' family during this hard time.
Even though I hadn't seen Chris in a number of years, I always had our memories. I was so happy to see so many people have so many good things to say about Chris. The direction his life was going and the man he had become was something he should have been very proud about.
I will always cherish the times we spent together mostly with.

My dad told me what happened after I played a game at a tournament in Lakeshore. I played my next game at Ft. Caroline and I went 3 for 3 with 3 RBI's and an 18-0 shutout win in memory of you. I play for The Argyle Allstars for my second year, the first year you sponsered me. I will always appreciate and remember what you did for me and my family.

To all of Chris's family,friends and realitives, I pray GOD stays close to you all through these hard times,
As for Chris Pair,he definetly is someone I call friend. We worked together in the real early days at G.C.Services. He was a YOUNG pup coming in to learn the collection world. As I think back to those days over 20 years ago, It makes me laugh, CP was wound up everyday, including the dreaded Saturday mornings shifts, he joined in on the PLB's,(parking lot beers) 20 yrs ago you could all join about in the parking lot and have a few beers, One Friday after work on PLB night, most of us that was required to be in 8A.M. Saturday morning were told "Do not come in with suds on the brain", Well there was a few of us that was late the next morning, myself included, We got taken into the meeting and got our butts chewed out, Chris comes up with this off the wall,answer as to why? we all bust out laughing and get kicked out of the meeting and told to get on the phones its prime time. This one of many many funny memories I have of Chris, SO I ask all that see this, have your moment of mourning, may it be brief, Then spend the rest of your days loving and honoring who Chris is, and let all you know what a FUNNY,Whitty,Sports Crazy,REAL,man that he was, and never let his one liners be forgotten, Rest in Peace my friend

My prayers are with Chris's family. I have not seen Chris in a very long time, however he was a very good friend to me years ago when we worked at G.C. Services. I will never forget the way he made me laugh all the time, all the funny jokes or saying that came from out of no where.. Chris was so fun to be around.
My prayers are with his family.

I remember so many good times with Chris, Scott, Jamie and John. They were either at our house or the Pairs. Our love, thoughts and prayers are with all of Chris's family. We, especially, John,Jr. & Beth, also were a part of the "Beacon Hills Crowd". Alot of us have moved on to other neighborhoods, but we still remember and cherish all of those good times.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

"CP",
I want you to know that my family appreciates everything you did for us, the sacrifices you made and your keen decisions in business that changed our lives forever.
You are my friend, my partner and more than anything you "ARE" my brother. For 27 years you were there for me and for so many others. You gave hope and strength to so many people along the way. I watched you take the shirt off your own back and give it to strangers so many times. I witnessed you helping so many of our employees over the years and changing the lives of so many who thought they had no chances left in life. YOU gave them one. Then you gave them another and another and another!!! You were the most unselfish person I know and I want you to remember that everyone noticed and admired your pure generous ways. I wish I could be more like you!
You were successful, smart, athletic, and more than any of that you were "REAL". You were blunt and to the point and so many of us admired that quality in you. For those of us who really knew you, it was the quick wit and funny analogies you threw at us everyday that we will never forget. I will miss that more than you will ever know. You were always so funny, that it will give us all a lifetime of great memories about you.
You were a encyclopedia of sports knbowledge like no other person I have ever met. I will miss calling you for a tough sports question and hearing you not only give me the answer but also every other possible detail about the game or the player I called about.
I know you are gone for now but we will all remember you for being the a great guy who loved his wife, children, mother, father, brothers and all his friends from Sandalwood HS and not to be forgotten all his bro's from BEACON HILLS!
You my friend are loved by many and will never be forgotten. You will be missed more than you could have imagined. You were one of a kind Chris Pair and nobody will ever take that away from you. People love you bro, you will forever be a staple in my thoughts and prayers!!!! I miss you so much already!
I LOVE YOU BRO!!!!!!
