Chris was a U.S. Army Veteran who served in Panama during his tour of duty.  Upon discharge from the Army, Chris became a proud truck driver and spent his career hauling freight as a long-haul truck driver first for American Steel for several years, then for Carolina Freight for over 28 years and then as a short-haul driver for Giant for over 15 years.  As Chris entered retirement, he promptly began driving as a porter for the Mercedes division of Sun Motor Cars for over five years.  As his over 55 years of work history clearly shows, Chris had an unwavering work ethic.

Chris attended Christian Life Assembly in Camp Hill for many years.  Chris was an impeccable dresser who took pride in looking his best.  His punctuality was a certainty.  He loved life and enjoyed traveling, the beach, and all of his cars, especially his corvette.  Chris loved to attend the sporting and school events of his grandchildren who he loved and adored.  He will be deeply missed by his friends and family.
