Chris was a self-employed truck driver for most of his life. He loved  to race his big brothers Bernie and Artie when they would cross paths on the road. When not trucking, he enjoyed having a beer on the deck with his employees, friends, and family, along with telling all the trucking stories, who had the best/fastest truck, cat or Detroit. Peterbilt or kw . Who had more miles forward and backwards – it was always a competition .

Chris loved to take his boat out tubing with all the kids. His best outing was when he took his daughters, neices, nephews, and the Dudley kids ,Chris, Logan, Olivia who he loved as his own, to NYC around the Statue of Liberty and back . Chris also enjoyed fishing and again competing who catches the first fish to the biggest fish – most of the time he would lose the bet . He loved to snowmobile and go 4 wheeling with his daughters.
