To Chris' family, I am so sorry for your loss. I saw Chris frequently as a nurse in GWV IR. I enjoyed caring for him and talking with him. He was a sweet man, and I will miss him. God bless

For the 20 years I have lived on Eley Street I have always liked Chris. I especially remember the times when he would visit with us, Dorothy and Bill on the front porch. He will be greatly missed. Gail Sheridan (Kingston, PA)

Grimes Family,
We are very sorry for your loss. Chris was a great friend who was always ready to lend a hand and entertain us in the process. We saw him become a dad who adored his little girl, and although he had his challenges, we will remember him as the smiling guy who was always fun to be around. Rest in peace Zing.
