In Chris’s younger years he studied and was excellent at martial arts. Later, he traveled with Peggy across country and in his travels brought home a cowboy hat and boots which he wore and treasured over the years.  Their travels also included a trip to Hawaii. Chris loved the motorcycles he owned over the years and attended the Laconia Motorcycle Week rally often, enjoyed snow skiing, and ice fishing. Chris had many and was always loyal to his friends.
