NORTHERN CALIFORNIA – Christopher Matthew Corollo passed away Sept. 6, 2014.

Chris was born on April 13, 1967, the ninth child of Joseph and Patricia Corollo of San Mateo, Calif.

Chris graduated from Aragon High School and was a plumber. He is survived by his nine brothers and sisters: Diane, Frank (Sherry), Mark, Natalie (Art), Eileen (Bruce), Joe (Juli), Dave (Alice), Anne (Chuck) and Angela (Mike); and his beloved cat, Ahi.

The children who very fortunate to call him Uncle Chris were Shelly (Dustin), Carrie (Mike), Chad, Kelley, Patrick, David, Bobby, Ryan, Jesse, Sam, Johnny and Tanner. 

Uncle Chris also enjoyed the love and attention of great-nephews Dustin Jr., Dylan, Derek and Jackson, and great-niece Dana. 

Uncle Chris was a constant source of entertainment to them, with crazy antics, hilarious behavior and outrageous stories. He loved making them laugh and seeing them happy.

Chris was a very loving, kind and generous man.  He was a devoted son, brother and genuine friend.  

Uncle Chris brought worlds of wonder to his nieces and nephews. When describing the male equivalent of Auntie Mame it would be appropriate to refer to him as “an Uncle Chris.”

A celebration of Chris' life is planned for 1 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 27, at the Italian American Social Club of San Francisco, 25 Russia Ave.
