At at young age, Chris was called Noodle. To this day, no one really knows the real story, but the nickname stuck, as he was well known to his nieces and nephews as “Uncle Noodle”.

He enjoyed hunting, boating and camping, which always resulted in many laughs and stories. Chris loved playing his guitar, and spending time with family and friends at the camp. 

Chris was a wonderful father, son, and friend. Spending endless hours with his family, and always willing to help his friends.
