Uncle Chris,
You have always been someone who I have looked up to. You are one of the toughest, most generous guys I have ever met. You always had a positive outlook no matter the situation. During the golf cart talks, or any other time we talked, you never wanted to talk about yourself. You only wanted to hear how I was doing and how things were going with me. You inspired me to live life to the fullest. I will cherish the golfing memories as well as so many other great memories I had with you. You will be greatly missed! Love You!

Uncle Chris, I was so lucky to have an uncle like you in my life. From family parties, to days spent out on the golf course, you were always the happiest man in the room. You have taught and showed me many things that will help me for the rest of my life. Never give up, always fight hard, and live everyday to the fullest. Thank you for all the memories that we've shared, I will cherish them forever. Your endless love and support will never be forgotten. I know that you're in a better place now, and I can't wait to see you again one day.
