Chris was a loving husband, proud dad, and fun Pappy. The great grand babies sure made him smile. His favorite times were those spent with his family and friends laughing, fishing and drinking a cold Miller Lite.
He served in the US Air Force from 1965-1991, 26 years! He retired at the highest enlisted rank of Chief Master Sergeant, Senior Enlisted Advisor. He loved that position, which he worked to attain his entire military career. He excelled at it, and it truly brought out the best in him.
