graduated from Wildwood Catholic High School as a member of the class of 1984.
Chris was a carpet installer for 35 years, giving his fullest in every job he did. Chris was
lovingly known to many as “Carpet Chris”. Chris was a caring, helpful and totally selfless
person helping anyone in need. He was always doing something for someone. Chris
loved using his hands to create and build things. He was a wonderful “handyman” and
also loved motorcycles like Harley Davidson. He loved watching his son and grandsons
play sports, working around his home, watching the Eagles but most of all he loved his
family. Chris never hung up the phone before saying “I love you Mom”. Chris will be
greatly missed by his family and all who knew him.
