Mary Ann McGinn says
Chris will be missed in the neighborhood. He left way to soon.
I’ll never forget him stopping over for a little chat while I was going through chemotherapy.
Or seeing the two of you taking Chevy and Zelda out for a stroll.
He liked his trucks and I’ll remember the occasional appearance of the hearse.
Rest in peace!
