Mr. and Mrs. McCloskey, Kevin, Brian and Danny:
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of Chris. Please accept my condolences. Chris was my friend from our days at Walton. I remember coming over to your house many times before we would all go out with friends on the weekends. We had lots of good and fun times together. He had the best sense of humor and told the funniest stories. He will be missed by everyone! You and your family are in my thoughts. With sympathy, Sean Burnotes

Hi McCloskeys,
I am so sorry that I am not able to make it to Chris's service. I am also very sorry for your loss. Chis was always such a character, and I really enjoyed growing up in the neighborhood with him, playing in yours, the adkins, the Bishops and the Greedwoods backyards. Many found memories of Chris growing up. My prayers will go out to you and the boys. Sincerely, Chris Weyrauch

Diane and I were deeply saddened to hear the news of Chris' passing. We know how much his friendship meant to our children, especially the life long friendship he had with Jeffrey. It was always an enjoyable time for us whenever he was in our company and, though infrequently, as the years have passed, we will miss the friendship he provided to our children and to us.
May God provide you the strength as you go through the difficult days ahead. You and your family are in our prayers.

My heart goes out to the entire McCloskey family. He will be missed a great deal. I will always remember his great gift to make everybody laugh. I have always enjoyed watching the ball games at eating chicken wings with him every Christmas dinner.He will be missed but not forgotten.

I will miss him and always remember him.He was my friend and a neighbour and i am grateful for the opportunity to have him in my life. R.I.P Chris

Dear Maryann, Bernie, Kevin, Brian & Danny - I was so sad to hear about your losing your son, your brother. I have kept up with Chris through Michael & Matt Vice, my sons, who cared about Chris and his wellbeing over the many, many years that they have known him. I know he will be missed so very much. This is so difficult for your family and I pray God's protection and peace will be with you to comfort you and give you strength. Love, Jean Parker

I am so sorry to hear this news. It has been a long time since I have seen you McCloskey boys. Brian: my wife, my kids and I will pray that God would give you and your family an extra measure of His grace for such a time as this. I know this is a tough time. We will pray that somehow, even if only in a small way, that you are strengthened and encouraged by the words of some old friends who are reaching out to care about you. Again, I'm so sorry.

Mr and Mrs. McCloskey,
Chris was simply one of the best friends I've ever had. More than anyone I've ever known Chris knew how to make me laugh. His heart was giant. He was my "pal" as we used to call each other and the world will never feel the same to me without him in it. There's so much more I could say but it's still too hard for me to come to terms with. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you.

I too was so sad to hear this news. It's been many years since I have seen or talked with him, but I have very fond memories of Chris from the Walton days. Chris was always making people laugh! My prayers go out to your family.

For as long as I can remember I have spent all of my Christmas dinners with Chris and his family. It has been a family tradition for as long as I have been married into the McGrath family.
Chis was funny, kind and charismatic. I truly enjoyed knowing him and will never forget him. A great guy and a great loss!
Bernie and Mary Anne, I pray for your family every day.
Love,
Nellie

Bernie and Maryann, our boys talked the other night about the fond memories that they had, when they visited your house, back in the ninties. They went up to the boys' bedrooms, and Chris, especially, went out of his way to make them feel at home. We will keep your family in our prayers.

Chris was one of my best friends. I spoke to him almost every day. Over the last few days I have found myself reaching for the phone to call him before realizing he is not here anymore. I miss him. Anyone who knew Chris can attest to his quick wit and great sense of humor. He was a true character and an original. I was fortunate to have known him. I am going to miss him dearly.

I remember growing up with Chris, playing football in his backyard in Fox Hollow. I was shocked to hear of his passing, and have thought of him often over the last few days. I hope he is in a better place. To the McCloskey family, I am so sorry for your loss. My family and I will say a prayer for Chris...

I was so sad to hear of Chris's passing. I have many fond childhood memories that included Chris. We caught up with each other on Facebook a few years ago and had fun chatting and emailing each other some childhood pictures. I'm so sorry for your loss Bernie and Marryann.
