Rest in peace Chris. You were always the most loving father-in-law and grandpa. Always so positive and available to lend a hand, or offer a few words of encouragement. We loved our time at family gatherings, or watching the Masters with you, and slipping you an extra beer when Christine wasn’t watching. We will miss your kind and gentle soul.
Love you, Christy.
