So many memories of fast cars, late nights,and a few beers mixed in. When I drive down Mona ave. I still check the window over the garage to see if the shade is open and you are welcoming in some friends. Rest in Peace....

So many memories of late nights, fast cars, and a few cold beers mixed in. Every time I drive down Mona ave I still check the window above the garage to see if the shade is up and you're ready to welcome some friends in. Rest in peace.

Chris was a nice, kind & a giving person who I had the pleasure of knowing in his lifetime. Chris gave me and others a selfless & precious gift of priceless memories to reflect on when journing down life's pathway.
Chris will be missed by many. I'm sorry he did not know the full impact on the many lives he touched both past & current.
My condolences go out to all that are sharing in the pain & grief felt at the loss of Chris. I wish everyone strength during this most difficult time.
Death leaves a heart ache that no one can heal but, LOVE leaves memories that no one can steal. May the memories and love of Chris fill the heart. May the good times be the thoughts always in place of sadness.
Chris, may you rest eternally in peace and rest easy my friend. Always in my heart,

Chris was an interesting and intelligent guy, with a great sense of humor. Though I have not seen him since high school, I still have fond memories of riding in his "race car" Cuda. Wow! That was a fast car, and he was an amazing mechanic! I am so sorry to hear of his passing.
