Christopher Ormsby Obituary
Born in Meriden CT on October 9, 1972, he was the son of Frank H. Ormsby of South Carolina and Margaret "Peggy" (Sullivan) Ormsby. He was a lifelong Meriden resident and graduated from H.C. Wilcox Technical High School, Class of 1991.
Chris was employed by Edac Technologies as a tool maker for almost 20 years. He was a parishioner of St. Laurent Church, where he was an altar server for 11 years and Mt. Carmel Church of Meriden. He was a past Grand Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Silver City Council #2. In memory of his brother, Chris tirelessly worked as a sponsor of the Daniel B. Ormsby Memorial Blood Drive for which he received the Governor's Award in 2002. He loved woodworking and was a member of the Central Connecticut Woodturners. He was a devoted family man and friend and always put others before himself.
Besides his loving wife and parents, he is survived by his thirteen year old daughter Emma, his twelve year old son Daniel and his sister Margie Butkiewicz and several aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces and nephews. He also leaves behind his beloved pets, Ellie and Simba. He was predeceased by his brother Daniel B. Ormsby and his maternal grandparents Andrew and Marjorie Sullivan.

To the Ormsby family,
My sincere condolences to all of you on the loss of Chris. I've known Chris since the St. Laurent Days. He always had a kind word with a great sense of humor. He will be forever known as a great brother who honored the memory of Dan and at the same time helping to save others. Rest In Peace Chris.

Claire ands I were saddened to hear of the passing of Chris. As a neighbor, he always had a joke and we had many laughs together. I also counted Chris as one of my students at Wilcox. He had a tremendous work ethic and had a unique gift of application of knowledge. Our prayers go out to the entire Ormsby family.
