January 9, 2023 at 10:09 pmChris exemplified all the traits and characteristics of a good man. His love for wife and family was obvious at all times. He was a fantastic neighbor always willing to trade barbs and even laugh when you got one over on him. I will miss our shouts over the fence to each other in jest, always ending with a wave and a smile. I will miss taunting him about missing a spot when painting or teasing that the little light on the top of his decorated house wasn’t twinkling. In all the years never a cross word passed. I will miss my neighbor and friend. Chris we love you. See you then.
