I am so sorry to hear this. Praying for his family. Chris and my dad, Doug Legg, worked together at Foust for years, and he literally was there from when i was born till dad moved to Florida. If he saw me, he still always gave me a hug and asked how I was doing. Some of my best memories of childhood were with him and the fun parties we had at my parents country house. He will be missed for sure. RIH Chris.

All of the family have been in my thoughts and prayers after hearing of the loss of Chris. I am so sorry I can not be there tomorrow. Because I work in healthcare with the most at risk individuals , we have been asked not to travel and stay home when not working. Mom and I will watch the live stream and will be with all of you in spirit. Of the entire Skirvin family Chris always reminded me most of Grandpa Skirvin – spunky and feisty!! Praying for comfort and strength for the entire family..Love you all!! Lisa 💔
