To Lisa, Kristin, and Matt and all of Chris's family, it is with our deepest condolences to you and your families. Chris not only was my good neighbor but a great friend. Marita and I always enjoyed our backyard chats with Chris on house matters, neighborhood matters, or just life in general. I remember when Chris and Lisa moved into the Roller’s house next door to me. It was great to have someone my age move into the neighborhood. Chris was always there for my dad after my mom passed and would often see him outside smoking his cigar and stop and chat with him. Chris always had time for his neighbors as many of us will attest to, heck he worked on just about every house on the street. He was a true craftsman and coming from a master carpenter family, my Dad and Uncle would always say, "Chris is good, really good." He was a man that stood by his word and his integrity was second to none. Integrity not often found these days, but you could always count on Chris and his team to come through. I watched his family begin and his kids grow up and become fine young adults. I always enjoy speaking with them. You can see the fine job Chris and Lisa did raising them in just a matter of seconds talking with them. Lisa is a fine person and is always there for her family. The last few years Chris has not been feeling well, but let me tell you about a situation before he went into the hospital. I had come home from work one evening and had issue breathing. Not sure of what it was but the next morning I needed to go to the hospital, the rescue squad was called and as I came out of the house heading to the ambulance there he was my friend Chris at the door asking me if I was alright and telling Marita if she needed anything to let him know. That evening after I returned I sent him a text to let him know I was okay, he responded and said that is good news. On another note, Chris always had time for our inquisitive Labrador Delilah who would often go visit him while he sat on his back patio relaxing. He always had time to give her some attention. Chris has been called off to heaven too soon, now leaving this world God needed another Angel. Lisa, Kristin, and Matt he will always be looking down on you and keeping you safe. Chris our good fiend you will be truly missed and you will live in our hearts forever. Until we meet again. “May the road rise to meet you, May the winds be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, The rain fall soft upon your fields, And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of his hand.” Further down the road brother, John and Marita
