My prayers and thoughts are with you as you mourn Chris' untimely death.

The same Everlasting Father who cares for you today will take care of you tomorrow and every day of your life. Either He will shield you from suffering, or He will give you unfailing strength to bear it. Be at peace then, and put aside all anxious thoughts. (St. Francis de Sales)

Keep up your hearts!

Bonnie and Walt, I'm so sorry to hear about your son's untimely passing. Chris was such a funny kid who had a great personality. He was a joy to watch on the football field as a young boy. I hadn't seen Chris in a couple of years but I heard from my kids that he was doing well. No doubt he would. He had good role models for parents. I had seen Bonnie at Wawa a few months ago and she told me that Chris was a new father. I thought to myself.....that boy is in for an adventure. Between Chris and Walt that boy would be exposed to a lot of outdoor activities. I'm glad I got the chance to watch him grow into the fine man he became. Stay strong and know that our prayers are with you in this difficult time of loss. Michael. and MaryAnn Kelly. Springfield Pa.

I am so sorry to hear about the passing of Chris. I knew him from college at East Stroudsburg University. He was the nicest, happiest, most personable individual. We shared many classes together and he was always so much fun to be around. I will keep his family in my prayers. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

To the Senkow family, I am so sorry for the loss of Chris! I worked with John and Walt in neighboring police departments but never had the honor of knowing Chris.
I cannot feel your pain, but pray that God eases your suffering with the great memories and comfort that Chris is in the Lords arms.
RIP Chris!

I had the privilege of teaching Chris at E.T. Richardson Middle School. He was a fine young man way back then. Chris was always polite and respectful with a terrific personality and strong work ethic. It was no surprise to me when I heard he was serving the community as a police officer.

I was shocked and saddened to hear of his passing. My thoughts and prayers go out to Chris and his whole family at this difficult time.

What a tragic loss to a wonderful family. I was born and raised in Clifton Heights and absolutely had the highest esteem for his grandfather, Walt who handled his wife's chronic illness with great devotion and steadfastness. His boys were loved and raised in the faith of our Clifton Heights Ukrainian Catholic Church. My heart and prayers go out to the family for such an untimely loss. God bless Chris and his young family.
