To the entire Trotto family, especially Lou, Julie and Kathy...We are so sorry for your loss. I only knew Chris as a young man and I remember how nice he was. He certainly made a positive impact on many lives as a grown man and you must be very proud of that.
My sister, Judy, sends her condolences as well. God bless you all.

Good luck and God Bless!

Words cannot express how sad we are to hear about Chris.

Kathy,Jonathan, and David,
John and I are upset to hear of the passing of Chris. Although we've only known your family for a few years, it was obvious how close you all were. We will miss seeing the four of you at the beach by the pier sitting and relaxing and trying to figure out how the boys are going to get out of another boating mishap. I think one of the last things I said to Chris was how proud he should be of his boys, and he was. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
Sincerely,
John and Nancy Skowron

To the Trotto family; Chris represented me in a number of cases involving everything from matters of family with custody battles for my daughter to the closing of my latest house. Over the course of the last 8 years Chris always steered me I the right direction and gave me not only hope in some tough times but comfort knowing he was competent,savy and went above and beyond what most would do. He was more than my legal my representation, he was pillar on dark times, a fighter. I’ll never forget him saying ”don’t worry kid we’ll get this” He was one of the great ones and will be sadly missed. My hearts goes out to you for your loss, and I hope the memories of your good times with him somewhat help comfort you..

So many accomplishments,
So very many successes,
A wealth of hopes and dreams fulfilled,
Days and days and days well-lived,
and now a legacy to celebrate.
May sweet memories encourage you at this time.
Chris was my corporate council in real estate and mortgages many years ago. I remeber him playing the clarinet for his kids when they were small and his collection of Platt Maps.
He will be dearly missed.

Kathy, Jonathan, and David: Wonderful and precious memories are with you now. Chris always enjoyed the photos I brought in to show him of Jonathan and my son Bryan when they were in grade school - at birthday parties, school functions. Upon seeing him in the building or parking lot, he would always have a nice smile, wave, and say to me "another day in Paradice" . My deepest condolences to you all.
