We fell in love with Chris the first visit we had with him. He came back for lasagne, & 3 or 4 other times. We talked & talked. He was like family to us & it's in disbelief that we just heard of his passing. God be with each of you family members, & you will be in our continual prayers.

To The Schmidt Family,
I am so sorry to hear of the sad news of the loss of Chris. He was our financial advisor and we loved when he would stop by and call. Always had a light heart and smile on his face. When he left he left us w/lighter hearts and knew our finances were in good hands. Going to miss you Chris but know you are at home w/Christ. Will miss you.
