Condolences & Memories (22 entries)

• CHRIS GAVE ME A CHANCE TO BE A PROFESSIONAL MOVER, AND HE DID A VERY GOOD JOB.I WORKED FOR HIM FOR 8 WONDERFUL YEARS. I REMEMBER WHEN WE WENT TO DAUPHIN TO FILL A APARTMENT(100 APARTMENTS), SO WE HAD TO BACK UP TO A TRAIN BOX CAR, LOAD THE TRUCK, BRING IT TO THE SITE AND UNPACK IN 30 BELOW FOR 2 DAYS STRAIGHT ...WE HAD FUN...I WILL MISS YOU BRO. - Posted by: john hebert (old furniture helper from the 90s) on: Apr 12, 2018

• Well over ten moves for my daughter, husband and I. Chris was the best part of the move and always had the biggest smile, no matter what. We will miss him terribly. So hard to believe that he isn’t here. Every time I see a big yellow truck or black convertible, I think of Chris. He loved Rose and his family so, so much. He was a kind man and the hardest worker that I have ever met. Until we meet again my Friend:). As he would say...”Hey Les, guess what?” - Posted by: Leslie Inglis (Friend and Satisfied Client) on: Mar 04, 2018

• I am heartbroken. Chris was such a part of my life for so many years and I guess I just assumed he always would be. My heart goes out to you, Rose. No more bad jokes, no more gong show moves, no more "I'm on my way, 20 minutes", no more ready smile when he finally does arrive. I will miss you, Chris. - Posted by: Allan Hamer (Friend and client) on: Mar 30, 2017

• I knew Chris for almost 30 years and used his residential moving services at least half a dozen times. I only found out last night that he passed and am truly shocked and sorrowed. Chris was a great guy, quick with a joke or an amusing story, and I always looked forward to watching him and his crew move my stuff. I can't imagine a moving crew as entertaining as they were; constantly yelling and badgering one another, it was like the keystone cops on steroids - but nothing ever got damaged, OMG they were surreal. I miss you Chris, you were the best! - Posted by: Clay Cracklen (Client) on: Mar 14, 2017

• This is very shocking news...Chris and his "crew" were a magical combination who could move anything you requested and make it entertaining. They moved us several times both in business and personal including my children and friends. I was always confident knowing I was in the best care with Chris at the lead. He cared big time. Our thoughts are with his family, Jack and Hamish. - Posted by: Sheldon and Marlene Sturrey () on: Feb 09, 2017

• Elsa and I have known Chris for many years. He has done work for us on numerous occasions and with his classy assistants has always left us with a smile on our face and thanks for a job well done. His parting will be a loss for everyone who knew him and especially for his wife, Rose, and family. - Posted by: George Van Den Bosch & Elsa Ranjo () on: Feb 06, 2017

• When my Family and I heard about his passing we were in shock. Chris was an amazing person and he has always been one of my favourite people since I was a child, I was 2yrs old when he came into my life. When he used to call and I would answer, he would always say "Hi sweetie, it's Uncle Chrissy calling." I will miss chatting with him when he came into our shop and I will miss the laughs that I always got when he was doing moving jobs for us with the guys, I always said that they deserved their own tv show. Rest in peace to a beautiful soul taken way too soon and the Harck Family give our deepest condolences to the rest of the Family. - Posted by: Mercedes Harck (Family Friend ) on: Feb 04, 2017

• I will miss Chris dearly. He was always nice to me, always had a good story to share and a good joke to tell. He was a good provider and a hard worker. Will be sadly missed, my thoughts and prayers are with them. - John Hoffman - Posted by: John Hoffman (Family ) on: Jan 22, 2017

• Hi, I've known Chris for many, many years. I can tell you over the years, you couldn't meet a nicer guy. Friendly, outgoing, hardworking and always willing to lend a hand to friends. He has moved me now twice, and a very meticulous mover in fact. Always had something funny to say. He always had a joke to share, a big smile and a laugh to go along with it. He moved me over 20 years ago and I had just sold one of my cars. While we were moving I took off my jacket and left several thousands of dollars in my pocket and I left it on the fence.. after we were done moving, I went to pay Chris and he said "Johnny you left it outside on the fence". We went back, found it, I paid him and over all the years every time I saw him he always would bring up that funny story. With love, John Prins and family. - Posted by: John Prins (Friend) on: Jan 22, 2017

• Chris was a part of our family at Bridgeport Office Solutions. Chris started working with us 17 years ago and was the best copier delivery person in manitoba. He never failed us once on 17 years. What a fun guy. Always has a joke and a picture of his latest addition to his car collection. He will surely be missed by everyone at Bridgeport. Gone too early. We will miss you buddy. Our Christmas parties will not be the same without you. Earl - Posted by: Earl Holden (Friend) on: Jan 21, 2017

• I met Chris while working at the Johnston Terminal Antique Mall. He would come by to do some furniture moving and would always tell us a joke. Never forgot to acknowledge me and made me feel like his friend. I am so sad at his lost. - Posted by: Gayle L. Wray (Friend) on: Jan 21, 2017
