just wanted to say I'm thinking about you this Holiday Season....I've looked at this picture I have of Grandmom, Pop my dad, and you all the time. it was taken around 1979 Christmas evening most likely. I miss you a lot though we hadn't talked in so long. Just a moment is what I would have liked.

My most sincere and deepest sympathies. I was not aware of his passing as the last time we spoke, I had every confidence that he would somehow beat the odds. Over the years, I had many opportunities to work with Chris on his mortgages. He was truly an outstanding , considerate, and compassionate man. He always had a kind word to share. Prior to his passing, he wanted to make sure that Debbie and the kids would be "okay" financially. He always thought of others and displayed that behavior in every action and word. He will be missed.

He was my hero as a little boy, my best friend as a child, and what i wanted to be as a young teen.

Chris Lee was a wonderful man. He had many interests, was a real contributor to the community and was successful in business. Best of all, he was a fantastic husband and father. A charming and handsome guy with a warm sense of humor, people liked to spend time with Chris. I value the time I spent with him usually involving an activity with our kids or our neighborhood.
Deb and the family: this is so difficult. You've been through so much as Chris bravely fought brain tumors. Please know he'll always be with you and how much he loved and cared for you. You have a strong community of family and friends that shares your loss and also stands by to help go forward.

We are so sorry to learn of Chris's passing. He was a great person, husband and father. A true family man. Deb, Adam, Simon and Kate, please know you are in our prayers.
Much Love,
Victor & Christine Pelillo and family
