Chris was a great friend throughout all these years!! He always was on the go and made his way from one end of Kenosha to the other end daily! He always shared his music with us and even taught the Grand kids how to play different instruments. He had an outgrowing personality and was not shy at all. He was a nice guy who loved life and wanted the best for everybody! He is missed and was loved by so many people! Fly high Chris and now you can play your music with some of the best artist in Heaven!!! 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
