Christopher S. Ponce

He was born January 31, 1951 in Bethesda, MD, the son of Hector and Doris (Brown) Ponce. He was a 1969 graduate of Hollywood High School in Hollywood, CA. On April 5, 1980, he married the love of his life: Sylvia Giammarco.

He enjoyed being in the outdoors: whether skiing, hunting or simply working on one of his many projects. He and his sons worked on building racecars and racing. His family was something that he cherished and he was a devoted father and husband. There was a very special place in his heart for animals, especially dogs. He was an avid sports fan, following all of the teams from LA: RAMS, Dodgers and the Lakers.

He is survived by his wife: Sylvia Ponce of Winchester, two sons: Christopher S. Ponce, II., and his wife Celeste and Zachary Ponce both of Swanzey, NH, his brother: Gregory Ponce and his wife, Linda of Frederick, MD, two brothers-in-law: John Giammarco and Nick Giammarco and several nieces, nephews and extended family members. He is also survived by his dear companion: Caprice, his chocolate lab. He is predeceased by his brother: Matthew Ponce and his long-time “four-legged” companion: Camron, his yellow lab.

Services will be private, as was Chris’ wish. For those who would like to make a memorial contribution, the family requests that contributions be made to the Keene Lion’s Club, c/o Holiday Citrus Project, PO Box 62, Keene, NH. 03431.
