Chris had an amazing sense of humor and could bring a smile to all who knew him. He was always the first to lend a hand to anyone in need. He loved spending time in Nova Scotia and going deep sea fishing. He was an avid bicycle rider and would even participate in lengthy races. He also loved sporting events, especially anything related to the Red Sox and the New England Patriots. He will be sorely missed. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.
