He took great pride not only in his work but in the relationships he built throughout his life. Chris was known for his generosity and willingness to help others. Whether he was fixing a friend’s air conditioner, repairing a car, mowing a lawn, or simply showing up when someone needed him most, Chris was always there. He believed deeply in being a good friend and neighbor, and he lived that belief every day. Chris was also a devout Catholic whose faith guided the way he lived his life.
