Christopher had many passions, but he enjoyed spending time with his family the most. His hobbies included fishing, golfing, swimming, and listening to "good music." He was an avid sports fan; Chicago Bears (football) and The Tampa Bay Lightning (hockey). Chris loved going on adventures with his family and travelling to new places every chance he got. Chris was also a fantastic chef and was rated 3 Michelin star chef in the Delegato household. He was a little league baseball and football coach for his son Daniel, participated in dance recitals with his daughter Tina and taught his daughter Sarah how to cook his secret family recipes. Chris loved to sing songs to his granddaughters and push them around in their strollers. Chris was the family comedian and would do anything to make the people around him laugh. He spent most of his free time with his best friend, his wonderful wife of 29 years, driving around Florida, exploring the state, eating tasty food, making memories, and living his life the best way possible. He will surely be missed.
