where his mother Nancy, and stepfather Bob, still live.
At his burial in Pinewood Memorial Park, Cash was posthumously
awarded a Bronze Star for meritorious service, a Purple Heart for being injured
in battle and a combat infantryman badge for
his time spent fighting.
A memorial Service was held at St. Maximilian Kolbe Church on

presentations were made on behalf of Veterans, State and Federal
representatives. Friends and family shared memories of Chris which
included humorous anecdotes and poignant poems.
