For a little over 36 years Chris took great pride in designing homes and serving his customers until he retired in Dec 2019. He was a dedicated and hard working man who continued to design houses from home.
Although Chris was dedicated and loved his career his true passion was music. Chris studied recording engineering and was a sound technician for the band Higher Limits for a little over 34 years. He loved travelling with the band and creating beautiful music. His past and present band members were his second family and some of his closest friends.

Chris devoted a lot of his time and energy to his family and ensured that he was always there to lend a hand or an ear when it was needed. Chris met his wife Kathie Chisholm through a mutual friend.

His children were his pride and joy.
