The family would like to thank all of those who have expressed there concern and who helped with all the arrangements for the memorial. We couldn't have done it without all the love and support of our friends. Chris and Naomi(aka) Mom and Dad will be and are deeply missed by all that cared and loved them. See you in Paradise.

Dear Compton Family,
I am so sad to hear of my High School friend Chris passing. Chris and many of the the guys would be together during the ( 1960's ).
We would just enjoy crazy conversations in the hallways of McClatchy between classes ,lunches or after school talks while standing on the steps outside the school while getting ready to head home.
He was "wonderful" and always had a "smile" on his face. It is a funny thing to me... I never had any friends later on in my life like the ones I had when I was at McClatchy... Chris was one of those.
His name and memories will always be remembered when converstations come up with his "Old Friends" from C.K.McClatchy High School.

Love To You All and Hugs!
Tom Dick & Family

Oh my gosh. It seems like Chris had just come by a few weeks ago because my yard was looking unkempt and he came to the door concerned that 'it wasn't working for me' his polite way of saying that my son's yard work abilities were lacking. He offered me the Monarch Landscape business card and I was looking forward to seeing him weekly starting the beginning of the new year. I so looked forward to visiting with Naomi and Chris when they came by to do the yard. They were great friends to have known and the best of people. My deepest condolences to the family.
