Born in Scranton, he resided in Olyphant most of his life. His parents were the late Philip and Patricia Repetto Butler.

Chris was known as Mr. Personality or Mr. GQ. He was the best dressed everywhere he went. He was a storyteller like no other and he had an infectious laugh. If anyone crossed paths with him, their lives were all the better for it. Most of his friends called him “Butler.”

Chris was a member of the sprinkler fitter union 669 for over 20 years. He had a huge love for hunting, fishing and golfing. He was a huge fan of Penn State and the Dallas Cowboys. He was an amazing pop and he loved spending time with his grandchildren.
