Left to cherish his memory are his beloved wife Luisa Perey, of 62 years and their 11 children: Amelia and Joselito Vargas and son, Ron Joseph (Philippines); Carmelita Perey and children Kristina and Raymond; Danilo and Susan Perey and children Malou, Maggie, Dan and Alvin (Philippines); Emma and Jowen Sangalang and children John, Jhosa, Emmanuel, and Selanne; Fernando and Corazon Perey and children Ihzel, Ryan, PJ, and Vince (Philippines); Gloria and Romano De Castro and children Divine, Emmanuel, and Isaiah; Herminia and Carlos Lacson and children Daryl, Rizza, Sherwin, Arjay, and Shane; Ireneo and Jovita Perey and daughter Alyssa; Joy Perey and Bryan McMillan and children Kale, Blessed, Alonzo and Grace; Eduardo and Josie Perey and children Deneese, Daniel and Nathaniel and Emily; and Ramon Javier and children Jhemily and Johannah; blessed with six great-grandchildren Jailyn, Drex, Abby, Kaleiya, Danielle and Anael. Cris was born and raised on November 27, 1927 in Mendez, Cavite in the Philippines, served as Chairman in Bataan for 10 years. In 1992, he, his wife and seven children immigrated to Canada. Cris enjoyed life by watching baseball and boxing, singing his favourite songs of My Way' and In His Time', writing letters and reciting many poems. He enjoyed the company of his many grandchildren, seeing them put a smile on his face that lit up the whole room, and he passed much of his wisdom to them. He was a very generous man and even though he lived in Canada he was able to help those back in the Philippines. The family would like to thank the staff at the St. Boniface Hospital Emergency for their patience, support and great care for our loved one.
