Chris will be missed by so many. I valued his warm nature and his true caring for people. He always asked about my whole family. He always took care others. He spoke jovially and lovingly of his own family and his grandchildren. He inspired my loyalty as a State Farm customer but most importantly,my deepest regard as a friend.
To all his family and friends, I offer my sincerest condolences.

Thoughts and prayers to the family. I just learned of Chris´s passing today. He was a very great man. I was manager of Hardee´s/Burger King back in the 90´s. He was my regular morning coffee drinker. He could always put a smile on your face. I also kept my insurance with him all these years even though I moved over 100 miles away. God Bless the family. He will be missed.

Chris was a wonderful agent for us for 30 years. When I lost my husband a few years ago he made a special phone call to me and told me he would take care of me with my insurance needs. The first time I went into his office after my husband passed he gave me the biggest hug and told me what a wonderful man Bill was. So, now it´s my tureen to give you all this virtual hug from me. I understand your pain. May you all find peace in remembering him and all the memorial you have.
RIP Chris.

To say I am shocked and saddened is an understatement. Chris has been my friend/agent for all of his 33 years in Crete. He has always been very helpful and went out of his way many times for me over the years. Rest in God's peace, Chris.

I feel so fortunate to have had Chris in my life, as a friend, fraternity brother and roommate. He was blessed with a beautiful and original nature. I always admired how genuine and straight-forward he was. And oh how he made me laugh. I loved him for it all.
My thoughts and prayers are with him and his loved ones.

Chris was such an inspiration to me! When asked how I have I got where I was I would always say I had a great mentor. Chris started giving me tips the very day my office opened up two doors down from his. He always had a great insurance joke or a piece of advice to share. Chris you are going to missed! God Bless!
