I was so saddened to hear about Chris. He was a good man. After my husband passed away he stopped by shoveled snow, fixed the washing machine, helped with the swimming pool. Whatyever you needed he was there. He enjoyed his life and loved to laugh and make you laugh. I was so glad when he married Jennifer he was finally happy. I will miss you friendship, your kindness, your smile and your laugh. Prayers to all your family

My deepest condolences to the entire Collene family. Chris was a one of a kind. We all had so many good times over the years. When my husband passed away Chris was a lifesaver. He shoveled snow , fixed the washer, put a new jet in the pool and whatever else needed to be done. He was a very kind soul who would do anything for anybody I appreciated him stopping by checking on us but most of all his friendship. He always left you with a smile. You will be greatly missed my friend. RIP
