Memories and Condolences
for Christopher Scrapper

Not sure what to say?





Love, Sue

May 7, 2010

Chris you are the light of my life, every day was a new adventure. Your strength and support gave me strength to face each day and the challenges life had for us.

I miss your smile, your laugh, your touch when you would hold my hand and give it a quick squeeze to let me know all is well. I miss the daily "I love you" and I miss you being the first person and the last person I spoke to each day for the last 34 years.

Moose and I miss you so very very much.

Until we are together again, my heart is yours in this life and the next.

Your gardens are beautiful and in full bloom. Thank you!

April 7, 2009 4:54 PM I met Chris on December 1st, 1970 and we remained friends ever since. He truly was the center of attention whenever a group of us were together. To say he was a policeman's policeman would be understating his ability and great leadership. Our monthly dinners before the AORP meetings will not be the same without him. God Bless him and his family.

April 7, 2009 7:54 PM My wife, Sandy and I worked with Chris during the 60's & 70's. He was always the gentleman and a hard charging police officer and as a Supervisory Sergeant. Into retirement, Chris took those qualities with him. Active in the betterment of retired officer's benefits and always took time to stop and talk to any of his brother/sister officers. He is already missed.
