Chris was the owner of the Brockton Cafe where he was known as the "Pizza King" and later went on to be the owner of Heidi's breakfast. Chris made of his employees and customers feel like a part of his family.
He loved going back to Panama to spend time with his family. His passions were hunting, fishing, and cooking and he enjoyed talking about them as much as doing them. Chris loved the outdoors, and in his later years he was known to feed all the animals in sight from the birds, rabbits, deer and the chipmunks. Chris real passion was his family, immediate and extended. He loved spending time with them. Whether it was a sporting event, a birthday party or a dance recital, Papou was always there. His daily multiple phone calls will be missed by all.
