Always trying to keep Chris and Nadines memory alive. Thinking of Chris today, Memory Eternal Dear brother in Christ!

Thinking of Chris today and also Nadine. They are both always in my prayers and may their memory´s be eternal!

Thinking of you today, Chris, and wishing we could talk about the plans for our new church. Happy that you had such a rich life. Hoping that we can all reflect your kindness and enthusiasm as we move forward at All Holy Spirit.

Chris was my coworker at the sheriff´s department and my friend. I was friends with his wife Nadine at the sheriff´s department and thought she and Chris were perfect for either! Chris never met a stranger and was everyone´s friends. His laugh and smile were infectious!! He loved vacationing in Hawaii and was responsible for the best vacation I ever had (to Hawaii) by calling his friends there to make sure my wife and I had a great time. That´s who Chris was, someone who cared deeply for...

I first met Chris in high school and he was always fun to be around. I remember on Senior Bums Day he was all dressed up like the perfect bum. It was riot. We worked together at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office, and most recently, I enjoyed listening to him sing his favorite songs of Frank Sinatra at both the Millard VFW and American Legion Post 1. He was always upbeat and a pleasure to be around. He will be missed by all who knew him. My deepest sympathy goes to his very special family.

To Tracey So sorry for the loss of your Dad I just saw the obit. Sending my condolences to you and your family.
