He is also survived by his children, Jimmy Casten and Christina Lester; son-in-law, David; grand-daughters, Sophia and Anna; and brother-in-law, Peter Kotsiviras.
The family would like to express a special thank you to Betty Green for her care of Chris during his final years. They would also like to extend their gratitude to Dorothy Brown, Lora Peyton, St. Joseph Hospice and Dr. Randy Del Mundo.

May his memory be eternal.
