Predeceased by his father Joseph (2010) and his beloved youngest sister Elizabeth (2011), Chris leaves behind his mother Patricia, sister Joy (Mike), brother Steven (Carole), brother Timothy (Carmen), nephews Michael and Domenic, Alexandre, Jonathan and Nicholas and nieces Emma and Erin. Chris was born in Espanola, ON and moved to Oakville at one year old with his family. He attended public school at Gladys Speers from Kindergarten through Grade eight, and then the newly-opened Queen Elizabeth Park High School (QEP). Afterwards he spent his career as a roofer, primarily with Cherry & Hoyle. Chris moved to Tiny Township with his parents in 1998 and there spent many a fine summer. Chris loved pets. From Pixie to Joey, from Puss to Boots, the family's cats and dogs looked to him for everything. A life-long fisherman and motorcycle enthusiast, on his Bultaco 340, Chris became Ontario's #1 Trials rider in both the Junior and Senior classes. He was the centre of attention wherever he rode. Chris loved weeklong trips with his brothers, fishing the streams of Lake Huron's north shore, or weekend getaways to the small streams surrounding Teeswater, the birthplace of his father. And little brought him more joy than golfing with his sister Joy and his Uncle Dennis. Chris will be remembered by most as a funloving, mischievous and loyal friend, always ready with a joke, a kind word and a beer. He was a loving and generous person. He is gone too soon and will be missed by all. The family is planning two celebrations of his life. The first will be Saturday, January 14th, 1-4 p.m. at the Penetanguishene Legion Hall (2 Poyntz St, Penetanguishene), for his family and his friends in the North. The second will be Saturday, January 21st, 1-4 p.m. at the Bronte Legion Hall (79 Jones St, Bronte), for his friends in Oakville and adjacent areas in SW Ontario. Arrangements have been entrusted to the Penetanguishene Funeral Home (705-614-2844). Donations may be made in Chris' name to the March of Dimes Foundation.
