Chris also cherished a special relationship with Kasmira (Kai) Porter, child of Kim Porter. He raised Kasmira as his own, and the two had a bond like no other. From daily school runs, homework duties, bedtime routines, and the Tae Kwon Do dojang.

Chris was there for it all.

Chris mastered his career in lithography at an early age until he retired due to a motor vehicle accident. He had a passion for animals including dogs, birds, fish, raccoons, and any other creatures in need of nurturing and love. He was also a tropical fish aquarist. Chris loved beaches and traveling, making yearly trips to celebrate their anniversary a remarkable 44 out of 46 years to Central America, the Caribbean and Dominican Republic.
