Chris was a wonderful gentlemen and friend. Knew Chris and his wife Mary when I worked for Intermedics in Freeport in the 80's. Have kept up being friends since then. Will miss my friend. May Chris and Mary be together again.

RJ, Denise and Toni, your hearts are richer for having such a special Dad. Remember all the good times and they will carry you through the bad. I wish I would have had the chance to spend more time with him. I know he is happy to be with his partner once more. XOXO to you all.

I am sorry to learn of the loss of Mr. Maropis. Although I didn't know him personally, it is always sad to learn a family has lost a loved one. I hope God will 'comfort your hearts' during this sad time. (2 Thessalonians 2:17)

Uncle Chris was a joy to know. He was always pleasant, and very welcoming - opening his home to guests and making everyone feel at ease. Our loss is Heaven's gain. May his soul rest in peace, and his family find comfort in a lifetime of happy memories of a good man.
Sincerely,
