Chris was predeceased by his uncle Richard Koluch.

Chris attended Rhode Island College having earned his Bachelor of Science degree in 1984.

He was most recently employed as a Mortgage Originator at First Citizens Federal Credit Union.

Chris had a passion for music that ran deep.

He was a musician with the Krakowiak Polish Dancers of Boston.

He also enjoyed playing music with his uncles Marion, Walter, and Chris in the Polonia Orchestra.

Chris also played with the Rhythm Orchestra with his family and friends.

Chris was an avid and very loyal Miami Dolphins fan having loved them since he was a young boy.

He enjoyed cutting his grass on his tractor with a Budweiser in his hand.

Chris enjoyed spending time in his yard with his two “buddies”, Charlie, and Leo and loved to tend to his chickens.

Chris will be lovingly remembered as a hardworking and fun-loving man, who was devoted to his family and loved to entertain guests at his home every Sunday.

Chris was the life of the party anywhere he went.

He was often dubbed the “mayor” because he couldn’t go anywhere without knowing someone.

Chris loved to tell a good story and spoke often of his many adventures he enjoyed in his younger years.

He had a saying or quote for everything and his “Chris-isms” will be missed.

The room has grown quieter without his larger than life personality and affectionate ear flicks.

To know him was to love him and his loss is felt all over the world by anyone lucky enough to have crossed paths with him.
