It has been A little over two weeks since my brother-in-law Chris has passed.  I still can’t believe it   I think about him every single day . Chris was more than my brother-in-law he was my brother.  We’ve been in each others lives since I was 15 and Chris was 12.  There was nothing we  
Would not do for each other.  We’ve  been through a lot together and have done a lot together from automotive repairs , construction work , and even moving lots of snow  . Chris did it and never once did he ever complain about anything no matter how hard the work or how dangerous.  When people say Chris would do anything for his family it is nothing but the truth.  We had a mutual respect for each other and would always bounce our ideas and plans off each other .  I know how much he loved his family and there was no limit to what he would do for anyone of us and vice versa. Though all of us are suffering a great deal right now with the loss of such a selfless man we are great full to have had him in our lives .  I’ll miss him a great deal I am truly heartbroken. 
Chris was one of the few real men left a man of honor , Respect and loyalty a real old school soul.  Its been my honor to know him and to call him BROTHER .  I will always honor your memory and do my part in taking care of your family . Until we see each other again.

My beloved uncle, 

I’ve been avoiding writing this or even accepting the situation at hand. I’d wake up everyday for the past few weeks praying that you would just get better. Those prayers then turned into hoping none of this was true. Reality did not set in till I saw you at the wake with that little smirk on your face, even then still hoping this was all a joke and you would just sit up and say “ I told you all I’d see you at the funeral”.  

There’s so many amazing memories that come to mind when I think of my uncle. His big heart and selflessness, extended farther than our family. All of this  was definitely apparent today with the room filling up with all the people who loved you. 

A few things that come to mind are obviously his iconic one liners that you would hear when entering his home or any family event “ I don’t feel tardy”, “get off me women” and so many more. My uncle never worried about himself and would do the most for his family. Even from a young age I noticed that and always admired it. I remember when he built a little house for my sister and I to play in. It had real roofing shingles, windows, and everything a little girl could dream of. 

My heart aches knowing that I won’t be able to make anymore memories with you and that our family has lost such a big hearted and huge personality.  He was always the go to person you would call for anything and he would be there no questions asked to help. Even late at night when there was a bay flying around my parents bedroom, he was there. I love you forever my uncle Chrispy. You will forever be in my heart. Every burn out I see or do will always remind me of you. and for that my passion of cars has grown even stronger.

I’m so heartbroken over this. You weren’t just my cousin you were a father to me that’s why I called you dad. I wake up praying this is all not true. I don’t even know where to begin, I remember as a kid I was always attached to your hip where ever you were I was and that was all the up until now. You had my back no matter what  choices I made even though I a lot of them weren’t the best ones. I’m gonna miss you pushing me off of you and saying “ get off me woman “ or “ I don’t feel tardy “ or “ Really “ I Will forever be grateful to have you in my life as long as I did I’m glad you had some time with Isabella she loved you and  you were crazy about her and you loved her probably me then me.  Please watch over us I need your help. I’m gonna miss you more then you will ever know. Im gonna miss you surprising me when you come to Florida and trips to Disney.  You were the glue that held this entire family together and things are never going to be the same without you. Please watch over mom and my sister Gianna they miss you terribly. Please watch over us and protect us.  

 I love you ❤️
     Yubby & Isabella 

Rest In Peace to my beloved 1st Cousin, Chris.  🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻  I helped take care of him as a little boy, looked out for him as a young man, and taught him a few things about life. 

He was among the top characters in our family: Funny, handsome, nearly superhuman strong at 6’5” and over three hundred lbs, also pretty much unpredictable. One never knew what he would say or do next. Ever. lol He would always be the one who would say or do what everyone else was thinking (but did not). lol 

Always there to lend a helping hand whenever and wherever you needed it, and blazed his own trail through life. Like the Sinatra song “My Way”, he always did it his way. Above all he was always, ALWAYS a family man. Not about clubs, bars, cheap thrills and dime a dozen companions. Not only about himself, either, like too many others I have known.  Always about family first. Want to find Chris? Look for one of us, and especially his lovely wife and princess of a daughter. They (and sometimes we) were his hangin’ out friends.
 
Perhaps he taught me some things too. Things that we can all learn and know. I may at times be called teacher or “professor” at my part time gigs, but I learned a lot about life from him: 

To live life your way with no apologies, and place the highest value on those those who value you the most.  Friends may come and go like the leaves 🍁 on trees during the seasons (some may even become like family for a time), and, like the leaves of autumn, their colors change as the cold wind blows your way then dry up and go away. 

But family is first. And REAL family is always there for BOTH the good and bad times. Family is forever. 

Today Heaven is getting a big big man.  Not just for the size of his body, but for the size of his heart. ♥️ And especially for the size of his soul.  We will all miss you, for we all loved you as you loved us.  💕  It has been said that when we die a part of us lives in the hearts and minds of those who love us.  While this may be true, I’m pretty sure that you, my beloved “little” cousin, will be welcomed into the arms of the angels and we will all meet up again in the house of the Lord one day. 

 Until then, for many years to come, a thousand stories will be told at family gatherings—also to friends all around us—about you and the crazy things you did. lol And about the intangibles and love that you gave to us. About the laughter you instilled in us, and how you were definitely a one-of-kind man who let nothing or no one change or dictate who he was. I’m grateful to God for that because I wouldn’t have you any other way. And most of all I’m grateful to God for YOU! I will carry you in my heart and in my mind for all the rest of my days. 
 Until we meet again — and we will meet again! — may the Good Lord bless and keep you. We’ll take it from here so no worries

My brother ,how do I even begin to express The void in my heart and our family over your passing . You loved your family unconditionally and always was the  brother  who was always there for me when I needed you the most in my life .  Growing up you always had my back even though I was the older brother.  Your presence and love for me was larger than life itself.   As we grew  to be adults and parents  our loving bond became even stronger .  Jeanne and Gianna will always be one of many loving reminders of you my brother.  Your laughter and love for us was larger than life itself!  I know I must go on living without you but, I know you will always watch over me and our family  this was always your way always there for us,.  your selflessness and love for us all I know will help me going forward with the unmeasurable grief and sorrow I feel every waking moment .  I will always cherish every moment we’ve ever spent together  my brother, and knowing that your soul is among the angels above will help me with  the pain I feel . I will always love you my brother and will always honor your  life  your legacy  now and always for all eternity . 

your loving brother Todd..

My Uncle Chrispy,

My earliest memories of you are of your yellow house in North Babylon and of all the dogs. Measuring myself against Aunt Jenene every time we came over, and laughing with you about how close I was getting. I remember playing and wrestling you as a little kid when we first moved into my parents house. I can hear you now yelling “beat it flea” cringing and flinching and acting like I was really hurting you. The time I traumatized you for 25 years by farting in your ear.  I didn’t realize until I was older that you were much more than a giant playmate. I am so glad but so sad that I just really got to know my Uncle Chris in the past few years. In the last decade I realized that Uncle Chris was the glue holding everyone together, the mediator between siblings , the line of communication to relatives far away, and the watchman of us all. I feel so guilty for all of those times I drove back and forth down sunrise hwy and didn’t pull over to see you.  You were there for everything and everyone. Such a huge presence in our family is missing now.  I will try and play my part in helping Gianna go on after this because I know she will be lost without you. I can’t imagine your big chair  without you, and I hope that wherever you are you’re sitting in it. My Uncle Chris, he never felt tardy!

Will miss you forever,
Nicole 

My cousin Chris, 

My heart is broken for my family. We lost one of the greatest people we ever had the pleasure of knowing. There’s so much I’m gonna miss. The random drive bys, you throwing things at us from your car, your random “i don’t feel tardy” quote, the humming, and your LOUD laugh. I could go on for days. I’m not sure how we’re gonna manage life without you here, but you’ll always be on our minds and in our hearts. Watch over all of us please. We love you forever 

   My Uncle Chris, I cant believe you have gone so soon. It just doesn’t feel real. You were the type that could intimidate anyone with just one look (ofc only when needed), but more importantly make them smile with one sentence. Everyone who knew you has been impacted by your loving and unique personality in ways that will last forever. Im incredibly sad that we wont have the chance to make new memories, but beyond thankful for all the amazing ones I will carry for life. Im going to miss all of the laughs, all of the stories, all of the unexpected visits to the house, whether you came to hang out or to shine a light through the window at 4:30am to freak us out, but most of all I will miss that feeling of assurance knowing i had my Uncle Chris just around the corner to offer a hand and have my back no matter what. Although I like to think I shouldn’t miss that feeling because I know you will continue to do just that from your throne in heaven. 

May you rest in paradise.

Your nephew Jojo.


To my handsome and loving brother,

I’ve put off writing this Wishing that somehow it wasn’t true.  How and where do you begin to put into words just how much you have meant to ME And our entire family. You have always been there for all of us helping, protecting, loving and  listening. How will we go on without  YOU.  My Mind floods back to our childhood and what a sweet , sensitive and angelic looking little boy you were,  our little  protector . You would take the blame for things just to not see us all punished. Your heart was bigger then you and you fiercely protected anyone you loved and cared about . You kept your circle small and anyone lucky enough to be in it was truly blessed . YOU are one in a million for just as many reasons.  The pain of losing you will NEVER  die sadly we have been changed forever . This has always been a giant fear of mine to lose one of my siblings and now that fear has manifested. This week has been soul crushing for all of us. We will always honor you Chris and we will never truly be apart for we are one. I need to believe that your passing is a passage to a new life one with no sickness or sorrow.  One filled with the love and joy you’ve brought to all of us .  We will be left with all the great memories of holidays, weddings,, birthdays, graduations and all the other special occasions we enjoyed .  Mostly just being together laughing and enjoying life . Rest assured we will always be in Jenene and Gianna’s life . Chris your absence will leave an emptiness in our hearts. My arms are around you and I pray GOD has given you the wings you’ve earned and you are flying above us watching over and protecting us . My beautiful brother we will be together again and I can’t wait to see your beautiful face . My love for you is eternal !
Your loving sister Denise (Neenee)

My beautiful brother the sun has risen on another day without you and the pain is insurmountable, how will we ever move forward in a life without you. I begged and pleaded with God for the last 2 weeks to save you, every minute  of every one of those days in heart wrenching pain thinking of the possibility of you not coming home. There are not enough words to describe what a great brother you have been, our Superman always in the wings with your cape on ready to save and protect us from any of life's emergencies, from the time you were a little boy right til the end.  I've spent my life in comfort and peace knowing you were in my corner.  You were there when we asked but more importantly when we didn't, showing up to witness all of our life's small moments and milestones, driving by our homes in the wee hours just to make sure we were all safely tucked in to showing up on Halloween to see your nieces and nephews in their costumes and trick or treat with them before you had a child of your own.  A million examples of these loving gestures have flooded my head these last days, we will spend our days honoring you and watching over your cherished family Gianna and Jenene with the same fierce love you gave us all.  I want to thank you my dear Brother for all the love you have given me, it never went unappreciated. We are truly luckier than most because we had you.  I love you for eternity , until we meet again. 5 forever.

Barbara (Barbarossa)

I could not even imagine what my sister Lorraine and her Kids are going through at this time..I don't think any words can comfort any of them,as a million thoughts race thru their minds..Why him?Why now?What if..Life is crazy at times and great at other times..Chris was lucky to have so many in his family to remember all the great times..Everyone with their own stories to tell..My Deepest Condolences to Jenene and Gianna...Though I didnt know Chris one on one,But I felt I did  know him well from hearing my sister talk about what is going on in everyones life on a daily basis..Which am sure they know me well,from their mothers daily gossip..lol..May my sister Lorraine and the rest of her family find some comfort thru all the memories they have of Chris..May he R.I.P. with his family that left before him..Mark M.

My uncle Chris (uncle freak and the worlds friendliest giant) I can’t even put into words how broken I am over losing you, your big belly laughs and twisted humor. Growing up I remember never wanting to leave your house, I’d sleepover days in a row playing in the dog pit, your closet full of games, swimming in your beloved pool, watching your wedding video on repeat and of course tormenting you. Every where you went I was attached to your hip, we’d always joke that I’m your first born. No matter how intimidating you looked you were always my big teddy bear of an uncle who loved sooooo selflessly! My brain doesn’t even want to believe you are gone, you were there for everything for us! I pray you’re sitting in the comfiest recliner, front row to all of our lives and protecting us especially Aunt Jenene and Gianna and I promise to do my part in looking out for my little cousin too! I love you to heaven and back until we meet again my sweet uncle freak😢💔

I don’t think 2000 words will ever be enough for cousin Chris. He was someone I looked up to and valued like an Uncle. If there was something I was in need of, Chris was right there. When I was 20 years old, I wanted to buy a classic car. Chris came with me to Yaphank to look at a 1975 Oldsmobile Cutlass and Chris told me to buy it. Whenever I had car trouble, Chris and my father were there. I’ll never forget when I was stranded at JFK Airport and Chris picked me up at 6 am. Chris was someone that would do you favors but wouldn’t let you do anything for him. After that ride home, I gave him my pretzels from Minnesota and he told me he loved them. I always said when I was older, I would take care or Chris. I’m sad that I never got take him out or meeting my future kids. Chris I will never forget you. 

I'm at a loss of words for my Cousin Chris, I'll keep this short, because 2000 words max is not enough for what I want to say about Chris, he was the most caring, loving, giving person, husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin, friend, and son, you couldn't ask for a more better human being, always there when you needed him in any kind of circumstance. Me and my family will always remember his wittiness, I have so much childhood memories with him and I will miss him dearly, I love you Chris and we will meet up one day for some Dunkin and your favorite 2 Boston cream donuts. I'm sorry for your loss Jenene and Gianna, love The Dainotto family.
