  Chris was a friend to me and my partner as newbies to Aldergrove, he spoke of his two sons so much and a lot out his skiing and many fun times..even though we didn't know him long we will sure miss him.

  I got to know Chris when he moved to the Okanagan through work and we became good friends over the years. Chris was very knowledgeable and attentive to detail in his work; it was always a pleasure dealing with him. I will always have lots of fond memories of the time spent with "Hoogie" and so very sad that his life ended all too soon. My sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family.

  So sad to hear about Chris. We spent a lot of time together when Nick was playing hockey and way back in their soccer days. He was a great hockey coach and hockey dad! And a real down to earth nice guy. Sorry that you two boys lost your dad way to young. Our condolences and sending you both a huge hug.
