I remember Chis fondly. He was always full of life and a little bit of a stinker. Growing up across the street from him made him seem like family. Especially since our Mom´s were best friends.

We rode to school together, played endless hours in the summer with all the neighborhood kids. Lots of Hide and Seek, Murder in the Dark,etc.

I hated Plains growing up there. As an old lady, I realize what a "Mayberry" little town it was.

Tell "LITTLE Bob" hello for me

Chris was always such a fun loving guy. Our mom´s were best friends for many years. Lived across the street from him for about 10 years . Played together, rode to school together, and got in trouble together. It feels like we should be kin folks. But that how it use to be when we were growing up. Rest In Peace.
