Seems like yesterday that Chris, Michelle, Tina and the entire neighborhood gang would be outside playing tag or Leveo, not sure if I spelled that correctly. Those were the good old days. Although I have not been in touch with Chris over the years, I can only imagine how wonderful a father he was to his children. I will always remember his charming smile and his big blue eyes. May you rest in peace.

May the blessings of love be upon you, May its peace abide with you, May its essence illuminate your heart, Now and forever more....We know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories. We find comfort in knowing that our lives have been enriched by having shared their love.

When we were working on jobs Chris would always take the highest gable to do. When I asked him why he said,"I want to get off the ground and I want to get high up in the air where I won't be bothered by anyone. Not the homeowner or the General Contractor." He said to me,"The higher I get the less people there are to bother me." Biss I know your in heaven so you can stop climbing now, you've reached the peak. Rest In Peace My Friend.
