Christopher was born in Worcester, and has lived here most of his life.  He attended St. John's High School and graduated from Shrewsbury High School.  He was a two sport athlete at both schools, where he played basketball and baseball.  Following graduation, he served his nation proudly in the United States Navy.

Christopher was a talented carpenter and worked for many years with the New England Carpenters' Union Local 336.  He used his talents as a woodworker, not only in new construction, but as a restoration artist as well.  

Christopher was a proud American.  He loved the Celtics and Red Sox, and attended many of these sporting events with his family.  He enjoyed music and "the wonder of it all;" but his greatest joy was spending time with cherished members of his family.  He will forever be remembered as a kind and compassionate gentle soul.
