Condolence From Julie Sperfslage

My heart does go out to all of Chris' family and friends - I have more than a multitude of memories of Chris and could fill pages with these memories. My heart is sadened by his passing but I tell you what he brought to my life I will never forget and neither with Hunter and Leo. From time to time our hearts cry from our own discomforts of Chris' now peace. He carried a heart many never see in a lifetime. So many things could be said in memory of him - The one thing I can say is that Chris' life and love has helped shape things to come in ways I could have never imagined. We will hold onto tomorrow and press through and make it to the day he comes running to greet us in that never forgotten roarous voice of joy he carried. He is at such peace now running and skipping along in Heaven and taken the place above praying for all of us now to enhance our lives. Forever loved and kept in our hearts.

Adam, Andy, and families, My family and I are saddened to hear of your dad's passing. He was a real good friend to us when our family had it's problems. He remained a real good friend through the years. We had many a good conversation, him sitting in his PCI truck and me standing in the driveway, solving the world's problems. Thank you for sharing your dad with so many people.

My sincere condolences to the entire family. I bought Chris' house in Rowley. I was fortunate to meet and talk with Chris a few times before he passed. He was a great guy, I wish I had more time to get to know him and hear stories. What a great guy. RIP Chris.

Adam and Andy, I am so sorry for your loss. It seems like just yesterday that I saw him at my wedding and it was so wonderful to see him. I have so many memories of him working with my dad in his shop on whatever vehicle or go cart they were building. I hope your memories bring you comfort and peace.
