Chris would like to give a very special Thank You to Dr. Alicia Detraglia, Dr. Fayez F Chaffee, Dr. Michael Adranado DDS, and the staff at MVHS Regional Cancer Center for all of the love and care they selflessly provided over the years.
In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation in Chris’ name to the Animal Rescue group “Pause 4 All Paws” where his beloved cat Cricket was rescued from, or one of the local animal shelters where he rescued both his loyal dogs Leia and Boots.
