Christopher Stafford

Chris, a devoted husband, father, pop-pop and friend passed peacefully on October 10th with his family by his side. He leaves behind his high school sweetheart and loving wife of 41 years, Linda (née Coppola). He is survived by their three sons and their families: Christopher and Andrea; Stephen, Meghan and grandson Declan; Michael and Michele and countless memories. Chris has been an avid golfer and member of Merchantville Country Club for 36 years, and more recently Colonial Country Club in Fort Myers Florida. He enjoyed and valued the relationships, both old and new, that he built throughout the years.

Chris was our voice of reason, guiding light, constant companion, and best friend that made everything right. No words can describe the gravity of the loss that we feel, but in our hearts he will always be with us.
