Dear Nicole and family -- I am so saddened by this news. I hope you can find a measure of comfort in knowing how many people Chris touched, and how his presence remains. A poet said, it's a fearful thing to love what death can touch ... but it's what makes us human.

Dear Nicole and girls,
Always remember you were the light in Chris's eyes. His entire world was focused on how to always make things better for you. I was so fortunate to have gotten to know him over the last year, and he was a beautiful person with such a huge heart. He has touched so many lives in just the short time he was here on this earth, and we were all so blessed to have him as a part of our lives. May God keep you, always with a healing heart.

Nicole, getting to know you and exchanging stories about raising daughters and the daily insanity of life, since joining the Canfield Family, has been a true joy. I am blessed to have been placed in your company. Your strength and love for your family is second to none. Though I never met Chris in person, through your eulogy today, I stand in awe of an amazing husband, father and friend. Your love for Chris has always shined through when you share stories during our family feud lunches. Your are an incredible wife, mother, co-worker and friend. My thoughts and prayers are with you Mikayla,Ashleigh,Ariana and Sydni each day.

Dear Nicole : Although we did not have the pleasure of of seeing Chris very often, we did hear from the family that he was a wonderful Dad and a devoted husband to you. I know that he loved you and the girls very much and I'm sure he will continue to watch over you and the girls.
Love, Marty and Genny

It's so hard to sum up such a wonderful person into one paragraph. Chris was such a great person inside and out. I can truely say that he was like a second father to me. I learned so many things from the long lectures he gave to mikayla and the memories we shared. Chris gave the best hugs and always made me laugh. Im truely going to miss him, alot. I hope you know I will always be there for your family in every way. Thank you for sharing so many great times and there will be more to come. Our hearts go out to you at this time and in the days ahead. With lots of love, Layla, Beau, Sarah, Daniel, Mark, and Michele.

Nicole,
Your Chris was an amazing man. I've never met a guy so in love with his wife and family. He actually BOUNCED when he spoke of you all.
This world lost a ray of sunshine when he passed. Let us all help you through this awful time. And when the time comes and your kids are old enough, we'll all gather and tell fantastic stories of their Dad.

Chris was a good man, I had the pleasure of working with him at Friendly's and then followed him to IHOP when he moved there. I've only seen him a few times since we stopped working together, but every time was a cheerful reunion. I speak for many when I say that Chris will be missed.

Dear ones, we worked with Chris for a while at Sub. Med. lab. He always bragged about his little girls.! We know Heaven is more precious now because he is Home.

Nicole and girls,
While we have not met, I feel as though I know all of you through the conversations I've had with Chris during his transition to Mercy Medical Center. He shared how happy and lucky he was to have the chance to spend so much time with his beautiful daughters. He would light up when he talked about his family, so know that you were all the center of his world. I trust that his daughters will carry with them the love he had for them and the great memories they've created. He had a zest for life and a great energy that he brought to everything he did and everyone he met (jokingly called himself the loud bald guy). I was deeply saddened to hear of your loss and offer my sincerest condolences. He will be missed here at Mercy.
