I am so sorry to hear of Chris’ passing. I grew up with Chris & Danny in the neighborhood and Chris & I were in the same grade at Rockford (1977). He was always a funny guy. May memories of Chris be your comfort in the coming days.

Rest in peace Chris! Chris and I were both part of the great RHS class of 1977. We shared a passion for reading and we were both on the wrestling squad from elementary ’til graduation. He was a big man with a very big heart for life!
Debbie, My deepest sympathies to you and your family. I will hold you close in my heart and prayers.
Deb,
Our Thoughts and Prayers are with You during this Difficult Time.
I am so very sorry for your loss. He always seemed to have an impish smile on his face. There are no words to comfort you at this very sad time, you, and his family are in my prayers.
So lost for words of Chris passing, last I talk with him was at Hill top in Hanover! Me and him crack jokes together. I knew his dad very well and was in the same class as his sister. I just remember him playing pinball up at the Rockford House alot. So sad that he’s gone, he was a great man. I will miss his smile and laughter
