See Condolences

My husband Jim and I lived across the street from Christ (and T.J. before she passed) for 11 years and had many wonderful visits with him over the years. He was a man of much knowledge and I could see that he enjoyed talking about his life, his family, his community. He will be greatly missed.

Lived next door for over 20 years. Many fond memories of Christ and TJ. Enjoyed talking "over the fence". It was good the see Christ leave to work out - I hope I can stay as active. He was a neighbor and a friend.

I worked for Mr. Anastoff in my first job out of pharmacy school in 1979, and appreciated all the knowledge he passed on to me. I have fond memories of him and his family.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
