I was deeply saddened with the news of my elementary through high school friend. Chris and I carpooled most of those years. Our mom's even worked together during these years. I have a sweet memory of Gloria calling her children "number one son, and darling daughter". Im sure this is how she still feels :) My love to you Gloria, Jennifer and the sweet children. Chris one thing was for certain you were loved by many and that smile was beautiful. My hope is that your heart is full of peace. Love and light again to your beautiful Family.

It was over 20years ago when this dark haired guy with an infectious smile walked into my flower shop to apply for the delivery driver position. His wonderful personality won me over and after that day I not only had a wonderful employee, but an amazing friend. I was lucky enough to have him there to work with for the years that I did becoming good friends,attending each others wedding, going to karaoke, and so many other memories. We lost touch over the years after I moved away from Roseville, but was happy when my sister ran into him a few times and told me he's doing great and how his son looks so much like him. It was just last night, I thought about him again and wanted to try to contact him and with modern technology googled his name and found this obituary. I was saddened to hear of his passing and regret not trying sooner to contact him. I will cherish the memories I had of Chris and smile knowing I was lucky to call him a friend. To his parents, sister, his children and family my deepest condolences. He was truly an wonderful person.

Emotional Day. I love you Chris. Your service was lovely. Your children were beautiful. Your family wonderful and gracious. There were lots of your SMF Southwest Family in attendance. I ate your aunt's cookies, visited with your cousins and childhood friends in the livingroom as pictures of you scrolled across the tv screen, talked and laughed and cried a little (I told Our "Dude, you got married without telling me..." story) and hugged your Mom and Sister. I visited with your uncle in his own backyard as the sun shone on us all. I hope you know how very much you were loved. How very much you will be missed.

My heart goes out to Christopher's family. I lived next door to Gloria and the kids, and eventually, Curt for years. I used to babysit both Jennifer and Christopher. He was always such a sweet, handsome boy. This is heartbreaking. My very deepest sympathies.

My heart goes out to you, the wonderful family of Chris. Chris was so proud to introduce you Gloria to all of us. Having a son Chris' s age makes my heart ache for you. Of course it goes without saying how Chris loved you Martin and Sydney. Yes, Chris loved his family. Chris was a "kick in the britches" to work with. He made working his flights fun and interesting. I always loved watching Chris and Chad hang out as they always reminded me of my son. They have a fine appreciation of womanhood. Chris treated me with the upmost respect and I attribute that to the fine upbringing of you, his family. It was an honor to share a piece of Chris's life with him. Thank you for that family. Love to you. Suzie De Camp
