Chris loved life, especially the moments spent on the waters of Lake Ontario. Born and raised in Alderwood, he was delighted in sharing stories of his best catches with family and friends. In his younger days, he enjoyed playing baseball and hockey in the Mimico and Long Branch areas. He cherished his wife, Nancy, and treasured the time they spent together with their grandchildren.

Their shared adventures, whether on the lake or in everyday moments, reflected a life built on cherished memories.
