Reminisin' on the porch,
We talked and watched it rain.
The day's we had, we'll always cherish you, Dad,
My father and friend until the very end."

I remember Chris from my high school years as a very talented musician with a great sense of humor. Our family has stayed in touch for many years. My sympathies to Chris' mother and son.

I remember Chris from when I was a very little girl, and his dog Buttons. We lived across the street at that time, and my Aunt Lois lived next door to him. Our thoughts & prayers are with you, Thelma.

Chris and I were strange little 5th graders at South Park School, always making flying saucer noises, camping out all night on his front porch, Making his dog "Buttons" Jump high, boy could that dog jump. His Father Jerry would take us to Krug Park to catch butterflys for Chris' collection,and his Mother was a SWELL Lady too, always making us cookies or some kind of treat, such fond memories of a simpler time. I am so sorry we did not keep in touch after we moved away, that's the story of my life as a child, we moved like gypsys. I certainly would HOPE that Chris has EVERY meal at the LORD'S Table for eternity, Good Bye Old Friend!
