Chris will be remembered for his generosity and kindness and for his love of family and friends. He had an infectious personality, smile and sense of humor. He brought love and laughter everywhere he went. He is loved and will be missed! Chris enjoyed golfing, dancing, annual trips to Las Vegas and hosting his large family and many friends. He spent countless hours perfecting his flower gardens and loved sharing wine with anyone who visited. Above all, he cherished his four grandchildren whom he loved dearly and spoiled endlessly.
