Chris loved his family so much. He loved spending time with them and having the grandkids over for several days at a time. The grandchildren loved spending time with their grandpa (Peepaw). He loved family get togethers, having cookouts and campfires in the backyard. He had a wonderful sense of humor and made people laugh with his stories, especially the ones about his mishaps with animals. Chris loved to travel and take mini vacations. He loved riding his motorcycle with Doreen. He was an avid Steelers fan. Chris touched a lot of lives. He had a kind and generous heart. We all have so many wonderful and funny memories of him. Chris was so very loved and we all will miss him very much.
