Chris retired in Aug of 2016, after working in the Agricultural industry, lastly as a Purchasing

Manager for RDO Water Inc. , in Escondido CA. Chris and Jennifer and their two little girls

Adina and Kirsten, had moved to San Diego County CA in July of 1971, as it was where the

work and Jennifer’s sister Charene Booth was. They both got employment, and started a life in

Sunny Southern CA. Both of their jobs led to further moves within Southern CA with the girls.

They all lived in San Luis Obispo Co and Ventura Co. Then they returned to the San Diego

County area that they both loved, for the next 25 years.

Chris and Jennifer, besides their work, raised Arabian Show horses, and Chris had his roping

Quarter horses Ed and then Buck, that he rode at rodeos and did ranch work with. Ask his kids

and family and they’ll tell you, that Chris had a “Punny” sense of humor, and was always a

Prankster with all. He also was a member of the Sons of the American Revolution. His work,

family, and life of horses, fishing and barbecuing is what he enjoyed the most in this life.
