I worked with Chris at BESCO for several years. We loved picking on each other. I used to throw my gum at him. He was so funny! He was also a great guy and friend and will be missed. Prayers for the family.

I met Chris many years ago. He was dating then went on to marry his daughters mother. He always smiled. This a total shock to me. RIP Chris.

Meghan over the years I have had the pleasure of watching your Daddy watch you. He adored you. He was so proud of you and the beautiful young lady you have become. At your pinning ceremony he said.. That's my baby girl. His smile was ear to ear. He will now be your forever angel watching you continue your journey. God Bless you, Becca,Grammy, and all the family and friends.
