Chris loved porch sitting and even did televideo
Dr visits on the porch. His favorite food was Braums burgers. He was a kind man with a keen memory for 80´s rock like Rush and Kansas. You could name an album and he knew every song on it. He had a very positive outlook and enjoyed his time on earth. The angels will greet you along with your parents. Miss you Chris!
