Uncle Chris will deeply be missed! We won’t forget the times that we all shared with him, and now he is at peace! I can see him in heaven cracking jokes and making the angels laugh and smile! I am so glad we all got to spend his final days by his side! I was glad I got to make him laugh and smile in the hospital! I have a lot of funny memories with him and I will keep them close to my heart! Give pop pop, gram, and uncle Chuck hugs and kisses from all of us! We love you and we will miss you!❤️

Chris was a very funny guy who always made me laugh! We had lots of fun as kids growing up together on Harrison Street. I will never forget his one of a kind sense of humor! His impression of Ray, a worker at Gabe’s corner store was hilarious! “Ya want a Nutty Buddy?”

The one thing I will never forget is Uncle Chris' smile. It was radiant and could light up an entire room. I admired him so much for all of strength and resilience that he has shown throughout the years. I wish I could be half of the person that he was. I will miss you very much Ootie. The McKenna family will not be the same without you. Love you.
