Whenever I visited with Chris and Carolyn I had the feeling that I was in the company of good people; it is those feelings that make life worthwhile. May God Bless Chris and give comfort to Carolyn.

We will miss seeing him working in his yard when drive past the house. Did not know him on the personal level, but seems like a fine man. Prayers are with the family. Brad/Wanda Hoover
