Biographical Comments
Chris was 56 years old and just celebrated 36 years of marriage to his wife Andy. They had 3 children Teddy, Alex and Katy. Chris was a member of Easton Firefighters 713 from 1989-1996 when he came to Allentown Firefighters Local 302 where he served from 1996-2019 retiring as the Chief of the training division. During his tenure as Training Chief he graduated nearly 200 Allentown, Bethlehem, and Easton Firefighters from his academy.
In addition to the Allentown Fire Academy Chris was a instructor for Bucks County Community College's Fire and Public safety program training men and women around the world(Korea, Japan, Italy, Romania,) as well as throughout the United States in EMT, Fire suppression, HAZMAT, and so much more.
He belonged to Lehigh County Special Operations division, Pa. Urban Search and Rescue Co. 3, Pa State Fire academy Instructor, and was currently employed as the 1st South Whitehall Township Fire commissioner.

Chris dedicated his life to Family.....Both of them. Andy and the kids were #1 but the firefighters he served with and trained came in a very close second.
His passion for fire education and training was unmatched, with his only goal to make the job safer for all those that follow.
There is no better way to understand Chris then as the end was nearing he told his family and friends that he wanted to teach one more class so he was donating his body to science.
