Chris was a excellent man always a smile and a wave for those that knew him. A good carpenter and a real knack to figure out how fix pretty much anything,he will be missed by so many I,enjoyed working with him around New Hampshire years back and we had lost contact in later years but I made good use of things he took time to show me. Rest easy my friend

Chris was my brother-in-law - more than that, he was like a big brother to me, a best friend and the best man at my wedding. We did so many things together: skiing, water skiing, cross country skiing, neighborhood snowball fights, family vacations, all night card games, singing our favorite songs while he played them on his player piano, holidays including a famous Thanksgiving in my garage, calling my Dad after running out of gas coming home from a full day of skiing, talking for hours over a Jameson - the list would go on and on. The last time I saw him, he greeted me with a big hug and a smile. I will miss you more than I can ever express, but I know you are in a better place. I look forward to celebrating your life next Memorial Day weekend.

And the most comforting memory/moment was when I was in college. I was going thru a very difficult emotional time and I was sobbing and you held on to me so tight and wouldn't let me go til I let go of all the pent up emotion .. thank you Dad !!! It seems like you were holding on to me for hours .........
In closing, I would just like to say to you Dad that because of you I have an appreciation for the simple things in life. I enjoy sunrises, sunsets, full moons, nature, flowers, birds ........
But you also passed on to me your wild and spontaneous personality !!!
I love you Dad

Some of my most memorable moments I have growing up are:
When you taught me how to waterski when I was 5 years old. I was so proud of myself !
The rides I would take with you in your convertible sports car when I was in elementary school. No particular place to go ...... just hanging out.
The science project you helped me with when I was in junior high school. I couldn't wait to show it off when I got to school !
The countless nights when I was in high school and we played board games. You had the patience of a saint while you were teaching but it wasn't long before the games became very competitive .. especially "Othello" !!

My Tribute to my father ...
Dad:
I have so much to say but it would take forever so I have decided to focus on my most impressionable years - my youth.
I have always respected and admired you for many reasons ... your unconditional love, your patience, your way of making people feel special, always putting other peoples needs and wants ahead of yours and never expecting anything in return.
I was so proud of you when I was growing up. I had best Dad in the world ... especially in our neighborhood. We were the envy of all the neighborhood kids ! How many Dads would take the time to build their kids a top notch tree house with sliding glass windows and a deck ?? How about the 30 foot high rope swing you made for us ... that was awesome !!
It was no wonder all the neighborhood kids were always at our house !!
Shifting gears to winter ..........
I remember every winter you would help us build igloos that were the envy of any eskimo and each winter the kickass 8 foot high ramp at the end of our toboggan run that was the envy of any Olympic stadium !!

I enjoyed working with Chris at Northeast Electronics and later at Exacom. Chris was always caring, and had a great sense of humor. We had many good laughs! Carol, and family, I wish you comfort and peace.

Dad, you were my hero as a young girl growing up. You could fix anything, make it all better. You could do anything. You were always there. As an adult I never lost the magical feelings I had a child. You still were my hero, still could do anything, fix anything and you were still there. You shared of yourself endlessly. A flicker in my eyes that could never be extinguished. In your passing....when I think of you I still feel that magical feeling and I can see that flicker. You may not be here physically, but in my heart that flicker will remain throughout eternity. I will always have that flickering light to show me the way. You will always be my hero, always be able to fix things and make things better and for that I am a better person and can do anything if I never let that light go out. I love you, Dad. I would say I miss you, but that is wrong for there is that flicker in my eyes and there is a warm burning flame in my heart that reminds me when I feel alone that you are still so with me.
