Regina and family, I am so sorry to learn of Chris’s death. I enjoyed visiting with you both and catching up at the pancake breakfast such a few short weeks ago. May all of you be comforted in your grief by the many good memories you shared.

I knew Chris from way back. I would go visit his sister Kathy and his mom whenever I stayed at my Granny Burgers house and he would be there at times. Ran into him a couple of times after Kathy passed. He was a very kind person! My prayers for all the family and those who knew him. God Bless!
