I am going to so miss him. He was such a good guy. He so loved his family. It's hard to believe I met him about 25 years ago now. He had a way of turning a negative into a positive and then have you laughing. My girls were fond of him as well and devastated at the news of his passing.

He was an awesome friend, the best. He would drive me to work ar 6 am On the back of his motorcycle freezing our butts off but laughing the whole way. He was a wonderful man and he will certainly be missed. He Was always so positive and happy A very rare trait these days.

What our families say...

In my opinion, there is no better facility in Virginia than Altmeyer Funeral Homes. Not only was Chris Sisler there to hold my hand every step of the way, his family members were holding the door on the day of the funeral to help and encourage me. I will never forget their grace. He led me and my family through the process as a personal friend and neighbor, and as the ultimate professional.
