Dear Patricia, Janice and Chris Jr.& all my little cousins, Uncle Chris was a ray of sunshine, a fireball. I always loved our family gatherings and just so grateful for the loving foundation our parents laided for us. I always remember pulling up to your house in Farmingdale wondering what he was going to do to crack my Mom up this time. I never remember anything but smiles and love from Uncle Chris. He could make us laugh so hard and we loved being with you all. He adored your Mom and that made he him loveable! He couldn't wait to show my Mom the Ladies underwear he was selling, XXXXLLLL he said," Big seller". I bought my first mini bike from him, you know he gave me a deal. I saw his light dimmer when Aunt Barbara was nearing her end. He tried so hard to stay positive and believe there was a miracle around the corner, but his flame was loosing it's glow. We lost a part of him the day your Mom left. We rejoice in there reunion, it was a long wait, and we celebrate him. He was a man to emulate, there are not many men left like him. Thank God he left a Jr. Patricia & Janice & Chris, you have made your parents so proud over the years, you loved him throughout his illness, with the best possible care. Such a painful disease to loose your Dad to. Through every stage you all managed to help him keep his dignity, it wasn't hard to see how much he loved you all, you all loved him back just the same. It brings my heart joy to close my eyes and see our parents dancing, laughing and being with each other once again. You all will remain in my prayers. Love you, cousin JIll

Chris was a true American. He served in one of the toughest branches of the service " The Marines" . He had a very strong work ethnic and proved to many doubters that if you are willing to work hard and take risks In business, you too can be a success. Yes, he took advantage of the many opportunities our wonderful country offers and ran with it. Although his life was cut short he managed in the time allotted by our dear Lord to make many accomplishments.
The one that stands out is the example he set of being a great roll model and loving father to his children and adoring wife, my sister Barbara

May You rest in peace.

To my dear and wonderful cousins, and all your precious and beautiful children, how deeply sorry we are for the passing of your dad and Papa. I can only imagine the celebration that is taking place in Heaven,and your dad being,as usual,the life of the party.
What a wonderful man he was; how blessed I feel remembering how much time we all spent together growing up.
Yes, he was a joker,loved his laugh and the wad of money he pulled out of his pockets at any given time; but it was the love,dedication and protective spirit he had for his family that was his strongest and admirable contribution to this world. Uncle Chris will be missed but his memory will live on, especially through all of you. May the love and support of all your family and friends carry you through this very difficult time, and find comfort in knowing he is with our Heavenly Father; he is home. God bless you all, our love and prayers are with you, Robin, Dan and family

To the loving family of Chris Sr: We send our heartfelt condolences.
Chris was a special person to me. I first met him about 35 year ago when he made a sales call to me (we were in the same business) and with a gift of gab and a few jokes he sold me some "stuff" I didn't really need. We started a wonderful relationship that was a combination of business and friendship.
The relationship was enriched by the meeting of our spouses. They became instant freinds, and the four of us shared many happy experiences together.
On one of our many trips together we were in Caines, France and had arrived at the hotel in separate taxi cabs. We rented a car from the hotel and decided to return the car at the airport.
We had doubts as to all the luggage fitting in the car with the four of us. They day before we were going to leave, we carried all the luggage thru the lobby of the hotel to see if everyrhing would fit. The bellhops and the front desk thought were were sneaking out of the hotel without paying. Chris just looked at them and said" we were going shopping and needed the bags to pack everything in."
He was one of the luckiest persons I have ever met. We were in Las Vegas and he was walking past the roulette table, and he stopped and put a $25.00 chip on one number and said before the spin that he had radar and received a signal that the number was going to win. Of course I thought he was crazy, but the little white ball bounced around a few times and landed on the number he bet. In all the excitement of winning, and collecting his winnings, he left the chip on the table and the next spin resulted in the same number coming up - another winner.
Chris was a winner, to his wife, his children and his friends.
He had a terrific sense of humor and was a very good freind. I will treasure the wonderful memories forever.
Rest in peace my friend.
