Christopher Cruise
July 3, 1956 - December 22, 2024
Suddenly at his home on Sunday, December 22, 2024, at the age of 68. Chris Cruise, beloved husband of Sherry (née Neal), together for 52 years.
Devoted father of Cian (Jennifer) and Melissa Cruise (Adrian). Cherished Gramps of Llewelyn, Augustus, and Holland.
Dear brother of Dr. Charles Cruise (Jayne). Will be remembered by brother-in-law Randy Neal (Dale).
Uncle of Amanda, Sarah, Mike (Robyn), and Lisa (Matt). Predeceased by his much-loved parents Allan and Laura Cruise.
Chris will be remembered for his love of playing with and spoiling his grandchildren; reading, music, and guitars;
and spending time “up north” at the cottage and walking in the woods.
A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date. In the meantime: read a book, play your favorite tune, strum a guitar, pet a cat,
think of Chris, and “Stay Frosty.”
In honor of Chris’s love of music, please consider making a donation to the
Joe Chithalen Memorial Musical Lending Library.
Memories and notes of condolence may be shared at Tompkins Funeral Home.
