LOWELL, MA – Chris C. Rodis, 85, a longtime resident of Boca Raton, FL, and more recently Westford, MA, passed away peacefully on Sunday, December 20.

Upon his discharge, he pursued a number of careers but found his calling selling financial and insurance products. He attributed his success to his ability to assure his clients "I may not be able to help you, but I will never hurt you."

Following their marriage, Chris and Carole moved to Florida, living first in Miami before settling in Boca Raton for 39 years. After Carole's passing, Chris moved back to the Lowell area to be close to his family.

He is survived by a sister, Helen Patrick of Old Westbury, NY, a sister-in-law, Mary Lou Mitropoulos of Dracut, MA, and many loving nieces and nephews who will miss hearing his beautiful voice sing songs of his favorite entertainer, Frank Sinatra. He was predeceased by three sisters, Connie, Joanne, and Marie, and four brothers, James, William, George, and Peter.
