In the early morning hours of July 31st, 2021, after ensuring the Blue Jays won their first home opener game in 2 years, Chris passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. While our hearts are heavy, we are comforted to know that he is now at ease.
Cherished husband and best friend to Kerri. Proud father to Brittany (Matt), Josh & the late Sara. Son of the late Anthony & Sophie Fryia, son-in-law of Harold and late Dorothy Walker. Dear brother & friend of Carl (Carol), Ted (Katherine), Mary (Mike), Anthony (Ingrid), and Greg (Meredith). Brother-in-law of Richard Walker (Cindy), Debbie Lajoie (late Mark), Leigh Gainer (Brian) and Grant Walker (Marywin). Uncle, great uncle, cousin and friend to many.
We will fondly remember him for his easy going, yet somehow stubborn nature, that twinkle in his eye, his quiet, steady love, and great sense of humour.
Thank you to the members of Chris’ care team - Drs. Rassouli and Carlson and the entire ADCP crew.
