Mr. & Mrs. Brown, Tim & Family,
Please accept our deepest condolences on the loss of Chris. He will be missed & fondly remembered for his continuous smile & helpful ways. We got to know and interact with Chris through the Wagontown Vol. Fire Co. and he served a time as a fire line officer for me while I was Fire Chief.
I'm sure that no words can express your feeling of loss at this time, however please take comfort in the thought that the next time you hear thunder from above, think of it as Chris continuing to work on his bowling skills & still smiling with each strike he gets.
Again, our deepest & sincere condolences, God Bless,
