Chris loved to ask his older brother Joe for information, and looked up to him a great deal. He also loved his sis as he would call her and never a day went by where he didn't email her to tell her he loved her and that she was his favourite sis! Chris loved his nieces and nephews and as they got old enough, they could ride over and visit their Kool Uncle Chris who always had cool stories to share that he always said don't tell your parents! Chris was the baby of the family and was very close to his parents, living in his Grama and Uncles past home, next door to his parents. He spent a lot of his free time asking his dad and mom for information, they were his best friends, and shared many laughs and stories.
