Chris was raised in the East Falls section of the city as the only brother to his four sisters. He was a truck driver for the Inquirer and a member of Teamsters. Chris lived a diverse lifestyle, embracing a vast variety of interests. He had a passion for cars, especially muscle cars, and enjoyed everything from restoring and fixing them, to driving them.

Chris also spent his free time boating, fishing, and visiting new places, his favorite being the Western US deserts.

Chris will be remembered most for his love of his family and his devotion to them for most of his life.
