Chris was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba Aug 14/53 to Martha and Larry. The family moved to Victoria B.C. when he was 13 years of age. After graduating from Belmont High School Chris travelled across Canada with Bruce and frequently spoke of these fond good old memories. Chris chose the electrical field and spent 45 years as a Master Electrician which he thoroughly enjoyed, last working for Dave @ Baldy Electric up until January. Chris was an extremely kind, hard working, intelligent and passionate soul with a very inquisitive mind. He had many hobbies some of which included building, "gardening", photography, stained glass work, rock hunting, science fiction and raising his dogs Harley, Eb, Blue ,Bear and his favourite Cody.
