Chris was a wonderful friend totally dedicated to taking care of Marilyn while she suffered with Alzheimer for many years....Ray and I always had a great time with him and Marilyn and he was always joking around and I can't count the times the four of us spent time in Las Vegas....I know he was failing after Marilyn past and we visited him in one nursing home but lost track of him when he moved to another home. We have wonderful memories of our times together.....and we thank God for all those GREAT memories.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
Remember many parties and weekends many years ago in AH and Rockton. Also met your Dad at Clearbrook Casino nights. Always remember his great smile and friendliness.
