He left Zakynthos in 1956 with nothing in his pockets to go live and work with his uncle Jim and Marina Andrews who owned Dimo’s Restaurant in Tracy, CA Then, in 1958, he met his beautiful, soon to be wife, Diane “who was from the same island in Greece”, at the movie night held at the old St. Basil Church in Stockton, CA. They married in 1959 and moved to Santa Maria Ca where they had their son Danny.

Chris and Diane were married for 59 years- they adored each other. Chris loved going back and forth to Greece, garage sales, WWE Wrestling, keeping up with current events, and collecting different unique items. He enjoyed helping others, loved animals and especially his doggie Heidi the Doxie.
