The last time we saw Chris, Randy and I made a trip to Charlotte and had wonderful conversations with Chris. We talked about so many things and watched our favorite animal shows. One in particular is Dr. Pol animal vet. We are all fans! Chris’s compassion for all animals is associated with goodness of character. His puppers Charlie & Indie played a huge part in his life and brought joy to him.
The life that Chris & Janet shared was truly remarkable. I believe they were destined to be together. They had a special life together.
Rest In Peace Chris.
Love,
Patti & Randy

Uncle Jr. was my sports loving uncle who was always interested in all the sports I was involved in. He also kept tabs on how my daughter Abbott was doing in her softball career. I remember him loving to golf and just being able to enjoy and talk about any sport!

We took several fantastic trips to visit Uncle Jr and Janet and one I will never forget to Buckhead Atlanta! He drove my college Roomate and I ( We both played basketball at SIU ) to get our first ever pedicure and when we were out that night we saw some Atlanta Braves mingling in the same place!

I will also never forget how much he loved his Shih-tzus! I fell in love with Charlie and helped them find Indy! We will miss you Uncle Jr!

“Junior” was my baby brother and I adored him. I always knew he would be successful because of his strong work ethic and amazing personality. We shared our love of sports and talked on the phone many times after a Purdue basketball game.
I will miss his deep voice and “gruff” behavior which hid the teddy bear he really was. My love goes on forever and I will always miss him.

Chris was my employer after college. Taught me a lot about work ethic, doing the job right... and had amazing stories to share. He knew more about college and pro sports than anyone I've ever met! A trove of information. He always laughed when their dog, Indy, warmed up to me (At first, I was exclusively barked at). Sending my condolences to Janet and his extended family.

I remember when I was little it was always so much fun when Uncle Jr would visit us & come home. It was especially fun when he would visit around the 4th of July, because he would bring all kinds of fireworks. We would go out to Aunt Mattie & Uncle Leo’s house & set them off.

He will always be remembered as my Fun Uncle Jr!

I met Chris (Ford) in 1966 at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia. We have been good friends since then. After we got out of the AF, we hooked up again when we both worked for the Arrow Shirt Company. We were both salesmen, but not for long. Chris was promoted to management. I was working out of Minneapolis when Chris was promoted to Regional Mgr. for the West Coast. Since we were friends, he selected me to take over the sales for The Broadway Dept. Stores. We experienced many successful years working together, with Chris as my Manager. We have been close friends for over 55 years. I will miss my ole friend. May he Rest In Peace. I send my peace and love to his wife Janet.
